BLACK FEMINISM AND INTERSECTIONAL THOUGHT: CONTRIBUTIONS TO PEER CULTURES RESEARCH

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is, based on the black feminist thought, to contribute to the studies on the production of peer cultures, regarding the participation of children since early childhood in the construction of social reality, bringing to the scene children aged 0 to 3 from the child collective of a public ECEC (early childhood education and care) and their reinterpretations towards the intersections between racist and sexist practices. We will bring to discussion the tiny young children, black and white, their resistance and transgressions, which tension the patriarchal and racist hierarchies. By building other ways of living in the world, through their games, they cast other perspectives at the relationships in force in society and defy the adult-centric power that intends to silence them.
