Abstract

This article brings the main results of a qualitative research on the effects of racism on child subjectivity. A cartography of eight body drawings of children five to eleven years old was carried out. From the cartographic method, two children’s graphic narratives were analyzed, comprising them as part of a historical and collective process where we can perceive racism and more specifically the politics of whitening as contemporary vectors that affect subjectivity.
