RESUMO

This study seeks to understand the exact moment when three the Afro-American professors who sat for a lato sensu course in Literacy in children from grass-roots backgrounds in 2000, adopted their ethnic and racial identity, as well as the resulting impact their affirmation of belonging to and embracing of the black race had on their teaching activities among grass-roots students. The oral history approach used represented much more than a mere methodology chosen for this purpose, as it stood for an epistemological option and an ethical and political commitment undertaken to foster the reconstruction and valorization of experience, fostering the possibility of re-thinking all emancipatory practices related to people coming from grass-roots origins who, in their vast majority, are Afro-descendents. Thus, oral expressions were privileged with a specific space, in order to apprehend and understand their daily practices and actions as they entail experiences that allowed these professors to rethink, perceive and query prejudice and discrimination suffered in their personal and professional lives, whenever they affirmed their ethnic-racial identity. Taking a full investigatory stance in their role of research professors, they began to present interference in the reality in which they work, proposing actions designed to denaturalize racist practices and strengthen their students of both genders in their ethnic-racial and cultural differences. Taking into account the complexity of this ethnic-racial identity-building process within the context of Brazilian society, the analyses of the oral narratives embedded in the dialogue highlight, as a theoretical benchmark, the epistemology of complexity and the principles of the oral African tradition, that foster comprehension of anthroposocial reality in its multiple dimensions, as man and nature blend with humanity and all that is divine, natural, cultural and historical
