A biblioteca escolar e sua contribuição para uma educação antirracista: utilização da literatura negro-brasileira na parceria entre bibliotecária(o) e professoras(es) a partir do uso do livro Becos da Memória

Abstract

This research aims to contribute to anti-racist education in secondary schools, presenting proposals for themes raised by reading the book Becos da Memória, by Conceição Evaristo, which can be dialogued with the different subjects in the school curriculum. To build the theoretical framework, we used works by various authors from a decolonial and contemporary perspective, prioritizing black people who produce in the field of Education and Librarianship, including Conceição Evaristo (2021), Muniz Sodré (2023), Eliane Cavalleiro (2021), bell hooks (2013), Zélia Amador de Deus (2020), Bernadete Campello (2012), Plácida Santos (2002), Marta Valentim (2002), Waldeck Silva (1995), Ezequiel Silva (1995), Emiliana Borges and Melina Santos (2020), Sara Vieira and Erinaldo Valério (2020), Vanessa Cardoso (2020), Nilma Lino Gomes (2021), Antonio Candido (1998), Sylvia Castrillón (2011), among others. This is basic research, with a qualitative approach and using the action research technique taught by Antônio Chizzotti (2014), with the teachers as active subjects and participants in the research. In order to validate the proposal for the educational product, two questionnaires were applied: an initial one, to survey the research participants; and a final questionnaire, to evaluate and validate the educational product produced by the librarian-researcher. To analyze the results, the Content Analysis technique was applied, as taught by Maria Laura Puglisi Barbosa Franco (2021) and Paulo Roberto Dalla Valle and Jacques de Lima Ferreira (2024). The action research culminated in the construction of the educational product, a textual activity guide, entitled “Anti-racist education based on black-Brazilian literature: interlocutions between ‘Becos da Memória’ and the subjects of the new high school”, developed during the Professional Master's Degree in Teaching in Basic Education of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program at CEPAE/UFG, made available in online format. The activity guide presents suggestions for interlocutions between themes raised by the reading of the book Becos da Memória, by Conceição Evaristo, for dialog with the racial themes proposed in the teaching curriculum of the Positivo System, adopted by the field school, which can be developed by all high school teachers, especially with the partnership of the librarian, classroom and school library. This dissertation and the educational product aim to present yet another tool to combat racism within the school environment, promoting awareness about being an anti-racist educator, learning about the history of black people in Brazil and its social effects from post-slavery to the present day, also seeking to strengthen the role of the librarian as a reader and educator, proposing dynamic activities that can be used as a starting point for building new proposals, promoting literature as an integral part of the school environment
