Quem somos nós? Mulheres negras jovens estudantes da baixada fluminense: narrativas que constroem histórias e memórias

Abstract

The present work had as main objective to know the narratives of constitution of identities told by black women, young students of Technical High School at FAETEC, in the city of Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro. The methodological procedures applied were: document analysis to identify the students' profile; virtual meetings with debates around the research theme, with the reflective portfolio as a recording and training instrument. The selection criteria of the participants were configured as follows: through the indication of professors who knew the potential participants, as well as their willingness to participate in the meetings. The data were approached through the Analysis Evidence Paradigm. The results of the study demonstrate that the construction of identity is procedural, plural and singular. They also indicated an important cultural constitution, built by the territory and the history of the social group in which the research participants are inserted.
