BETWEEN CAROLINAS AND DANDARAS: recognizing stories and forming for citizenship

Abstract

The text proposes to bring the experience of two black female teachers of basic education who have the Baixada Fluminense as the locus of their teaching and who through their practices dispute the meanings hegemonically attributed to black and white women. In addition to narrating methodological strategies, we want to form a dialogue with intellectuals that help us to rethink and refine our teaching practice in a critical way, so it becomes indispensable to the reading of black feminists who help us locate the organization of the world from the racism and structural machismo, as well as providing us with the view that education, when problematizing, can be a liberating practice. From this idea it becomes important to also dialogue with Paulo Freire and his vision of education as a powerful tool to transform people and thus the world. The experiences described here took place in two public schools, located in São João de Meriti, in the first half of 2018; in one kindergarten class and the other in high school. The practical experiences seek to carry out a critical exercise of the school space where it is possible to coexist with the difference, allowing the students and students to have access to other world views, thus giving access to other stories where black and whites are protagonists and recognized as builders of the country in which we live.
