| Sumario: | The present study refers to the relationships of the Afro-descendant body with the school, with the aim of understanding how the school can contribute to the process of valuing different bodies in order to fight racism. It is known that racism throughout the history of the formation of the Brazilian people has left great social consequences and with this, it is intended, in addition to denouncing, to propose possibilities for confronting it. As a methodology, the research chose to follow the perspective of narrative review, which seeks references to discuss a theme and also the autobiographical review, which values personal stories as an important part of the process, as well as the proposition of resignification of these narratives. The research revealed that the Afro-descendant body still undergoes oppression within the school, although today, there is specific legislation and an incipient adaptation of schools to reduce these consequences. On the other hand, the research encourages that valuing personal narratives can certainly contribute to the self-esteem of black people and their personal and social emancipation inside and outside school. Own narratives are important for understanding larger narratives such as power structures, and it is also evident that these “small” stories are able to teach us about how to deal with these social structures. |
