Black Identity between exclusion and freedom||Black Identity between exclusion and freedom||Identidade Negra entre exclusão e liberdade

Descrição

In this paper, we present some reflections on the influence of social markers in the social representation of Black People. We discuss the consequences of these social constructs about the “black body”, as well as their implication for the construc­tion of black identity in Brazil. In addition, it is briefly pointed out the importance of the actions of the Black Movement in the educa­tional field to the struggle for implement pu­blic policies like the Law 10.639/2003. From this perspective, the contribution of education in the deconstruction of stereotypes is pointed, as well as the importance of Africanities to create intervention possibilities in the identity formation process so that the dominant narra­tives about “how to be Black” can be challenged and help to build an educational environment to resound histories and marginalized identi­ties.||In this paper, we present some reflections on the influence of social markers in the social representation of Black People.

Discutimos as consequências desses constructos sociais em torno do “corpo negro”, assim como suas implicações na construção da identidade negra no Brasil. Além disso, apon­tamos brevemente a importância das ações do movimento negro no campo educacional na luta e conquista de políticas públicas, como a lei n. 10.639/2003. Sob essa perspectiva, falamos da contribuição da educação na desconstrução de estereótipos, assim como da importância das africanidades na criação de possibilidades de intervenção no processo de formação identi­tária, para que as narrativas dominantes sobre o “ser negro” sejam desafiadas e se construa um espaço educativo de ressonância a histórias e identidades marginalizadas
