O papel da biblioteca escolar na promoção da equidade racial : um estudo de ações antirracistas em Aracaju - Sergipe

Abstract

This article presents a study about the actions developed regarding the ethnic-racial theme within school libraries in Aracaju - SE. In order to contribute to facilitating the insertion of the ethnic-racial theme into the annual planning of the school library. The methodology employed includes a detailed analysis of data collected via Google Forms from librarians working in the area. The school library has the opportunity to work on the ethnic-racial theme from the beginning of learning. The school library has the possibility to act in combating racism from the school base, through the dissemination of knowledge and self-knowledge of non-white people. Based on this principle, there arises the need to identify what are the library practices regarding the ethnic-racial theme that have been developed in school libraries, and how librarians can contribute to this struggle. Thus, it is valid to question: what are the anti-racist actions developed by librarians in school libraries? In order to answer this question, this work has as its general objective to identify the anti-racist actions that have been developed by librarians in the school libraries of Aracaju-Sergipe. To do so, it specifically intends to: 1) Verify the periodicity of the ethnic-racial actions that have been developed in the school library; 2) Analyze if there are collections in the school library that address the ethnic-racial and anti-racist issue; 3) Present the contributions to the school community of the anti-racist practices that are developed in the school library; 4) Develop a guide of anti-racist practices for school libraries in Aracaju - SE. The relevance of this work is evidenced by its potential application in practice, making it possible to enable dynamic discussions and actions to be carried out in practice.
