SPENGLER, Maria Laura Pozzobon  and  DEBUS, Eliane Santana Dias. Black characters in the wordless picturebooks of the Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola (PNBE) for Children's Education. Roteiro [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.1, e15822. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v44i1.15822.

The article seeks to highlight the black characters in the wordless picturebooks of the collection of the Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola (PNBE) for Child Education in its four editions (2008, 2010, 2012, 2014). For this purpose, the mapping of the titles was carried out, 77 in total, published by MEC/CEALE, recital 59 (since some contained small narratives and keywords). Of the total of 59, we analyzed 13 titles, five of which include black characters that are inserted in the context of the narrative with other characters, but without active participation and eight with black characters that participate in the narrative. Of these eight, four black characters are protagonists in Bem me quero, bem me querem (RENNÓ, 2009a), O almoço (VALE, 1987), Mar de Sonhos (NOLAN, 2012) and Quando os tam-tans fazem tum-tum (ZIGG, 2013). Based on the theoretical reference on the wordless picture books (BELMIRO, 2017;SPENGLER, 2017) in dialogue with the studies on children's literature and African and Afro-Brazilian culture (ARAUJO, 2015;DEBUS, 2017,REYES, 2010), the analysis seeks to highlight the representation proposed by these narratives and their contributions, or not, to the education of ethnic relations (ERER).
