As relações étnico-raciais na formação das identidades afro-brasileiras na educação infantil e seus diálogos com a cultura corporal

Abstract

The text presents discussions and reflections about ethnic-racial relations in the formation of Afro-Brazilian identities in Early Childhood Education and their dialogues with Corporal Culture. Well, we believe that developing ethnic-racial relationships in childhood contributes greatly to the respect and appreciation of the black person as an adult. In 2003, Law 10,639 was sanctioned, which deals with the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture in educational institutions, in order to emphasize the importance of black culture in the formation of Brazilian society and value existing diversities. Therefore, this research aims to understand how ethnic-racial relations can contribute to the formation of children with an Afro-Brazilian identity in Early Childhood Education via the elements of Corporal Culture. The methodological procedures consisted of a bibliographical review, analysis of guiding documents such as LDB/1961, which condemns any unequal treatment due to philosophical, political or religious convictions, as well as any class or racial prejudices, as attacks against the black population are constantly being seen, humiliation, prejudice and discrimination. And documentary research on how ethnic-racial relations are familiarized in Physical Education from Early Childhood Education onwards. In 2003, the LDB obliges the inclusion of “African and Afro-Brazilian History and Culture” in the Basic Education curricula, with the aim of inserting the history of black people, as well as their culture in Brazilian society, in order to value ethnic diversity, and see them as shapers of our society. With a quali-quantitative approach, which makes it possible to work with reality and understand the data presented, this research hopes to contribute to the formation of black identity and Afro-Brazilian and African culture in Early Childhood Education. For data analysis, 11 articles were found within a time frame from 2010 to 2021. In the analysis of the results, it was possible to observe that Law 10.639/2003 is not in force as it should be, due to lack of public policies, generating more actions than train professionals in the area on the content in question, as well as continuous planning for these professionals. It is necessary that education for ethnic-racial relations is effectively constituted in Brazilian education, for fewer episodes of racism and prejudice.
