Branquitude na escola: percepções, relações, poder e resistências

Abstract

The dissertation text that follows is the final result of our studies in the Professional Master's Program in History Teaching, ProfHistória UFPA, in which we present as a theme - WHITENESS AT SCHOOL: PERCEPTIONS, RELATIONS, POWER AND RESISTANCE. We seek to analyze how students and teachers at the school and also the school community, which is mostly black, perceive or do not perceive how whiteness is inserted and works at school, in the teaching of History and in society as power; how their relationships work; and how the resistances are presented. From obtaining quantitative and qualitative data, we seek support in the concepts and studies on whiteness, History Teaching, decoloniality and ethnic-racial relations, making the pertinent dialogues and pointing out paths that contribute to improving and accumulating knowledge, information and training for those who knows that we can combat and overcome relational, educational and racial problems. Thus, part of this dissertation is also a booklet with the descriptions that form the course of our experiences until we reach the debate about whiteness that we currently have, with suggestions for (in) formative interventions for the groups researched at school and with the possibility of expansion to other spaces.
