VALE, Rosiney Aparecida Lopes do and SANTOS, Gabriel Gustavo dos. Racism in school education: discourses that hurt. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2019, vol.57, n.54, e18289. Epub Feb 10, 2020. ISSN 1981-1802. https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2019v57n54id18289.
This article aims to problematize and reflect on the black subject and his relationship with school knowledge. Through a literature review, we intend to discuss how black people are represented in the media and in school environments, and the impact of these representations in the way he sees his condition and, consequently, in the way he relates to school knowledge. For this purpose, we choose, as a starting point, the literary text Remembrance of Lessons (1996), written by the black author Cuti, Luiz Silva, to serve as an element that initiates this problematic, since this literary text materializes for the fiction the dramas commonly experienced by the black population in schools. In the course of our investigation we were able to identify that many speeches, with wide dissemination in different media and in school contexts, may encourage the perpetuation of racism of color and of its consequences, which are usually, as exposed in the foregoing text, devastating for the black people’s.
