Histórias em quadrinhos no debate sobre o racismo

Abstract

Brazil is a recent society with little more than five centuries, although the socioeconomic processes have advanced and the country appears as one of the most relevant in the world in several sectors, we cannot forget that it was formed from a violent process of colonial exploitation, estate and enslaved labor, which lasted for most of its history. The consequences are brutal social inequality, an Afro-descendant population at the base of a social pyramid, whose poverty reproduces the times of slavery, with a subordinated role by insistent prejudice, in addition to structural racism. One solution to revert the status quo, even though it is enormously complex and time consuming, is to provide quality education to everyone equally; to this end, methods and processes must be thought of based on the premise of decolonizing mentalities, for this purpose we propose Stories and Comics to expose teenagers and young people to debate with peers and their teachers about racism, prejudice, misogyny, etc. ., dialectics with an attractive media vehicle for the age group in a playful and at the same time critical way.
