Qual o lugar da branquitude na educação cearense? Percepções discente e docente de ser branca/o nesse lugar by Anderson Oliveira

“…Entretanto, o movimento de pensar o outro personagem das relações raciais – o branco – tem se tornado uma tônica presente nos estudos étnico-raciais, a fim de viabilizá-lo e problematizá-lo nesse debate, campo esse denominado de estudos críticos da branquitude (Ramos, 1995; Cardoso, 2008; Bento, 2002). Nesse sentido, a fim de contribuir com a discussão, o presente artigo tem como objetivo pensar como estudantes brancos de duas escolas públicas de ensino médio do estado do Ceará compreendem sua raça nesse espaço. …”
