O uso de narrativas no contexto de uma pesquisa ante pós facto: construindo novos caminhos por repensar o ser negro

Abstract

This article comes to present researcher experience in which I used narrative close to a group of children in ages between 08 and 09 years and their teachers, a moment in that I could bring to classroom elements of African and Afro-brazilian History and Culture. I had an interest that the students and teachers knew some of the motivations which took Portugal to start the process of criminal enslavement against the African population. I decide build and to narrate the history of Rei Galanga (King Galanga). That narrative took the teachers to manifest their conceptions and prejudices about the African and Afrodescendant people and, also, the children knew an existence of a black royalty and some elements of its culture and they could still make associations among the violence practiced against the African people and the forms of violence of the present time. That narration activity was part of a master's degree research that had as objective to verify if the use of the African and Afrodescendant literature, while a pedagogic resource, would allow to students to produce or no new concepts about being black. For a better understanding of the reader, I present in that work the methodology, the stagesand some final results of that research.
