Ensino de História, feminismo negro e educação antirracista: vivências de Professoras negras em São Miguel do Guamá, Pará (2019 a 2022)

Abstract

This study discusses history teaching, black feminism and anti-racist education, based on the practices and experiences of self-declared black female teachers who teach the History Curriculum Component in Basic Education in São Miguel do Guamá, Pará. It was based on the contributions of black intellectuals, especially the work Escrevivências by Conceição Evaristo, which allowed for reflections on history teaching and teaching practice with a focus on discussions that articulate teaching, race and gender. The results of the bibliographical and field research are presented here, the latter resulting from the application of interviews and questionnaires with elementary school teachers from public schools in the municipality. Encouraging the teaching of history from an anti-racist perspective in schools in the interior of the Amazon provides the protagonism of the experiences and knowledge of black female teachers as a device that questions normative patterns of power. We therefore conclude that the narratives presented contributed to the deconstruction of absences, bringing black female teachers to the center of the dialogue, confronting the hegemonic narrative by reconstructing other stories from a decolonial and intersectional perspective of race, gender and class and in understanding the development of blackness in the Amazon.
