Recent research points to the benefits of ethnic-racial socialization for Black children and adolescents. This study intended to verify perception of ethnic-racial socialization and its effects on ethnic-racial identity, as well as the implications of racism for the ethnic-racial identity of Black students. We used as a theoretical basis the literature on identity, racism in education, studies on ethnic-racial socialization and those on the implementation of Law No. 10639/2003 (BRASIL, 2003) in Brazilian schools. The participants in this research were 120 students attending the final years of elementary school and who answered a self-administered questionnaire. We used SPSS software for data analysis by associating skin color with ethnic-racial socialization, identity and experience of racism. The perception of these participants showed that socialization of Afro-Brazilian and African knowledge contributes to positive valuing of the subjects' identity. We therefore recommend that future studies investigate both the promotion and also the quality of ethnic-racial socialization transmitted in schools.
