ARAUJO, Débora Cristina de  and  DIAS, Lucimar Rosa. Voices of Black Children in Research and Literature: hoping is the verb. Educ. Real. [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.2, e88368.  Epub June 07, 2019. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-623688368.

This essay is intended to highlight the experiences of black children in academic research and children's literature. Assuming their voices as references for the effective education of ethnic-racial relations, we discuss discourses produced in the school environment, many of them reifying stereotypes. In contrast, in selected children's literature, their voices trigger new meanings about their trajectories. Thus, aspects of teacher education are pointed out, with special emphasis on the need for a literary education that contemplates ethnic-racial diversity. It is a bet on the interlacing of voices, so that we can hope for more life-giving stories to all children as a project of anti-racist education.

Keywords : Black Children; Children's Literature; Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations.
