Abstract

This research has three primaries goals: (1) to investigate the issue of failure and evasion in public schools under the scope of institutional racism; (2) to stablish a relation between race/ethnicity and irregular school trajectories; (3) to elaborate a pedagogical intervention which problematizes the issue of racism in the society, and finally, to promote, with the students, the identification and deconstruction of racism and its primary mechanism of reproduction. For this purpose, it was collected the data about students’ trajectories of six elementary schools in Angra dos Reis – RJ, over the period of nine years (between the years 2010 and 2018), using ethnic-racial clipping as reference in order to identify racism discrimination patterns. The pedagogical intervention discussed the issue of homogenization and invisibilization of black individuals in our culture through time using as a didactic strategies, collective games, research, and the elaboration of autobiographic narratives to engage reflection and action about the problem. The data indicates a greater tendency towards irregular school trajectories among students have declared black on the enrollment form, which can be interpreted as an indicator of institutional racism in the investigated schools.
