Abstract

The present monograph has as its theme the representation of the black in Negrinha de Monteiro Lobato (1920), which explores the inhuman vision that continued in the mentalities and habits of slaveholders, even with the abolition of 1888. The nigger is approached touchingly. , the mulatto, the mestizo as written in our literature, who presented him as he has been exhibited in Brazilian society observing him passing from object to subject, that is, presented him as he has been exhibited in Brazilian society since the beginnings of its existence. A bibliographical research was carried out, using as base, the work of an author considered celebrated in the Brazilian literary context, Jose Bento Monteiro Lobato (1882 to 1948). To analyze the tale, it was first necessary to present the history of black people in Brazil during the abolition and slavery periods, as well as a vision of black people within Brazilian literature. We sought to present the Monteiro Lobato profile within the Brazilian literature, its contribution to the development of children's literature in Brazil, as well as the position of some critics, who talk about the behavior of Lobato, in the black theme. To support this analysis, we used authors such as Monteiro Lobato (2008), Lajolo (2007), Candido (1999), Sodré (1911), and Fairclough (2001). . This work aims to make a reflection through the work Negrinha (1920) by Monteiro Lobato, which shows how blacks were treated even after the abolition of 1988. To represent these people, will be approached the character Negrinha, who receives the same title of the work and the tale. About the nomenclature conferred on blacks, these are termed as the inferior, the marginalized, the stereotypical as we find them in various literary moments, they experienced the difficult times of slavery and were suppressed by the ruling class (whites) and that even after of freedmen still lived under the slave regime
