O papel da literatura infantil na formação de subjetividade e identidade de crianças pretas: uma leitura do livro Amoras.

Abstract

This article seeks to reflect on the role of children's literature in the formation of the subjectivity and identity of black children, supported by reading the book Amoras, written by rapper Emicida. A qualitative, descriptive, exploratory methodology was used, based on a bibliographic review. Through the interdisciplinarity between psychology and literature, the article presents the importance of access to literary productions with Afro-centered themes during the process of development and subjectivation of black children, as a way of promoting a vision and perception of themselves free from stereotypes. This article will be epistemologically based on the field of ethnic-racial relations, studies on childhood and children's literature, and interdisciplinary perspectives on knowledge construction. Finally, based on the theoretical discussion and reflection on the work Amoras, the importance of exposing children to positive ethnic-racial references is concluded, considering that the construction of their subjectivity is linked to the theoretical references that surround them, to thus promoting identification and empowerment of black children, providing a subjective constitution of love for one's own figure.
