Tese (Doutorado em Educação) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/55162This thesis aims to analyze the life trajectory of three black professors from the Education Center of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, namely: Andréia da Silva Quintanilha Sousa, Luciane Terra dos Santos Garcia and Marisa Narcizo Sampaio. I defend the thesis that Brazilian structural racism reproduces a dynamic of direct, indirect, and symbolic violence on the life trajectory of black women, regardless of the level of education and social class to which they belong. These violences were and are assimilated by them consciously or unconsciously. This understanding occurred through the prerogative of education, in the Brazilian context, basically consisting of a history linked to romanticized and eurocentered colonial thinking. The research is part of the field of Cultural History and Sensitivities based on Sandra Pesavento (2007). Concepts, conceived by the authors, took importance for the established reflections such as: Silvio Almeida (2019); Martiniano Silva (2009); Images of Control, a term coined by Patricia Hill Collins (2019; 2021) and Winnie Bueno (2020). The understandings about intersectionality, proposed by Carla Akotirene (2019) and other authors, were also dear to this study. For the production, collection of data and treatment of historical sources, I used Oral History together with its technical and methodological procedures designed by authors such as Portelli (2016), Meihy and Seawright (2020). At the end of the research, it was possible to understand how racism manifested itself and presents itself in the daily life trajectories of the research interlocutors, crossing their identity formations and their arts of existence.Acesso AbertoProfessoras negrasTrajetórias de vidaRelações étnico-raciaisEncruzilhadas negras: histórias de vida de três professoras do Centro de Educação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NortedoctoralThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
