“Cadê a criança negra que estava aqui?”: da visibilidade seletiva ao apagamento da criança negra na BNCC

Abstract

The aim of the article is to question the emphatic absence at the BNCC (National Curricular Common Base) of themes related to racial Education in early childhood, that is, toward black children between 0 and 5 years and 11 months old. At the same time, it discusses the need to fight for a curriculum that, especially from early childhood education, conceive places and experiences political, historical, social and emotional for a black childhood, aimed at human plurality, first condition for all democracy and struggle against all social inequality. The interpretative hypothesis sustains that the BNCC, from this political option associate with systemic racism, promotes curricular emphases consistent with the maintenance of the values of the Brazilian patriarchy and all the social contempt caused by it. For this purpose, the article conceives two analytical developments. In the first, it clarifies the reasons which founded the erasure process of black child in BNCC. By next, it investigates the systematic scope of a political educational project that complies with the racist norms of Brazilian society, projecting a selective visibility to all black children. Finally, as majority consequences, it is argued that without prioritizing the black children as central subjects of education in the curriculum, there is no educational curriculum, however, instead a racist political platform.
