Versos em preto e branco no colorido universo africano: uma chamada para reflexão e reconstrução do pensamento

Abstract

The recognition of the influence that the image is undeniable, and the depreciation and devaluation black everything that refers to the African continent, in Brazil, mainly by the media and other vehicles of mass communication, was the detonator of questioning that led to this work of research and action. Initially the proposal is to make the reverse path, showing positive images, that empower Africa, Africans and their culture, compared the images that are presented daily, associated with the production and reading of poems. Betting on the sensitivity as a generator of reflections. Believing in the ability of involvement and enjoyment that poetry, and that the debate of ideas and thoughts can result in strong expression works, able to deconstruct stereotypes and promote the critical sense, is that this work believes in reading and collective construction of poems from the observation of images of an Africa never seen in our everyday life of our schools.
