As relações etnico-raciais no cotidiano escolar: reflexões a partir de uma escola pública estadual de Maceió

Abstract

The ethnic-racial relations in Brazil are contained in unequal contexts that reflect the ways in which the country was formed from enslavement. Thus the country was marked by racism and especially the exclusion of blacks. Thus, social institutions, especially the school is not exempt from this reality, since the racial conflicts are present in society due to the inheritance of a past forged by our shared values and habits in a process that favors a single racial segment. Therefore, the school is a space in which they live subjects of different ethnicities, genders and subjectivities. In this perspective we can observe the importance of checking the relationship of students from a public school in order to analyze how they relate to other subjects in the school environment, given the racial differences, since through coexistence develop actions in this space. Thus, the purpose of this work is to investigate the ethnic-racial relations experienced in the daily life of a classroom of 5th year of elementary school of a state school in Maceio, in order to analyze the relationships between black students in the everyday classroom in order to identify racist and prejudiced manifestations. The results indicate that black students are daily oppressed in school, discrimination and racism manifest through name calling, teasing and depreciation.
