Abstract

The 20th century marked the multiplicity and plurality of debates about identities. In this context, this study aims to understand how cultural and social practices of affirmation of black identity were developed at the Municipal School of Elementary Education Irmã Theodora, through the Conexão-Afro project (2015-2019). In view of this, the concept of “postmodern identity” addressed by Stuart Hall (2002), is fundamental, when approaching that individuals have multiple identities. From there, this concept will be particularized for an identity segment. In this case, the concept of Black Identity, thought from teacher Arilson dos Santos Gomes (2017), bringing to the debate the forms of resistance of the black movement during the first half of the 20th century, as an identity political struggle. Even so, the teacher Nilma Lino Gomes (2003), points in this direction positive paths for the formation of black identity. The research will unfold in the analysis of the project, its central ideas and objectives. With this, we will seek to understand his possible contributions to the positive psychic development of affirming the black identity of students and, finally, to discuss the importance of ethnic-racial relations in the teaching of History. The sources used were a questionnaire with 10 questions, interviews, the school's PPP and the relevant bibliography.
