Anti-racist education and the poem “tem gente com fome”, of Solano Trindade

Abstract

The context of the production of this work is the deployment scenario of Law 10,639 / 2003, which provides for the teaching of history and african-Brazilian culture. In this sense, the article debates the effectiveness of the legal document in the face of everyday school practices. For this, the work is divided into three parts. The first discuss the school curriculum and education to race relations; the second talks about literature and the issue of black society; and finally, in the third, we analyze the poem of Solano Trindade highlighting text such as a motivator for anti-racist issues in the classroom. As a result of the discussions, we pointed out the importance of working with literature and authors non-canonical in the face of demands legitimized by specific legislation.
