"Meu nego deixa eu te contar" a questão étnico-racial e a contribuição da história pública no combate ao racismo: um análise do samba-enredo da Mangueira 2019

Abstract

This research discusses the connection between ethnic-racial relations and Public History, through the samba-enredo "História para Lunar Gente Grande" (History to Lull Grown-Ups) by Mangueira from 2019, as a possible alternative for valuing black identity and combating racism. This approach aims to understand the pedagogical practices developed to implement an anti-racist education, emphasizing the contribution of Afro-Brazilians and Africans in the construction of Brazil. The dialogue between the samba-enredo by Mangueira (2019), Public History and the importance of implementing Law 10.693/03 allows us to break with dominant narratives and promote a greater diversity of historical perspectives. To this end, we searched through literary and documentary bibliographic references, on the theme that proposes the education of ethnic-racial relations and other relevant themes such as school curriculum and teaching-learning practices that value black protagonism, in order to overcome traditional narratives. We conducted qualitative documentary research using written sources, such as the synopsis of the samba theme song, and audiovisual sources, including the samba school parade, found on the YouTube platform. This was used to articulate a critical debate to codify the subjectivities found in the lyrics of the theme song. The relevance of this study lies in recognizing the importance of preserving Afro-Brazilian culture and reflecting critically on society and its current challenges.
