Teaching History under an Intersectional Look

Considerations about Stories of Black Students of the South of Pará

Abstract

This article presents a part of the discussions from a master research in History teaching area that had as protagonists black students. In a group of 8^th grade of a public school of Conceição do Araguaia, South of Pará, I made a training course for teaching History of ethnic-racial and gender relations. As main part of that training, the stories of three black students clarify how the mechanisms of intersectional oppression operate in their relations and subjectivities. In the theoretical discussion some authors such as Gonzalez (2018), Crenshaw (2002; 2012), Lugones (2008; 2014), and Kilomba (2019) were referred. The experience allowed me to reach a closer approximation of the students’ reality for creating future and new narratives in pedagogical practice for teaching History. Narrating and listening to stories of other people opened the possibility to have another looking, until now unknown. An interseccional look about themselves.
