Resumo
This study examines the nationally and internationally acclaimed Brazilian writer, Carolina Maria de Jesus, whose literary production presents the subjectivity of a forgotten and denied Brazil: that of Black and poor Brazilians. The book Diário de Bitita is a posthumous work, first published in France in 1982 in French, and later translated and published in Brazil in 1986. The work portrays the lives of Black people in post-abolition Brazil after 1888, revealing through Bitita's daily narrative how racist structures persisted despite the official end of slavery. The general objective of this research is to analyze how Carolina Maria de Jesus's literary work, through Diário de Bitita, contributes to the teaching of Afro-Brazilian literature in high school, discussing its implications for Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations and literary literacy. The study engages with theoretical contributions from authors such as Candido (2004), Cosson (2009; 2010; 2020, 2022), Paulino (1999), Zappone (2008; 2021), Duarte (2010), Vigotski (2004; 2009), Freire (1989; 1996), bell hooks (2013), and Evaristo (2009; 2010), articulating reflections on the social function of literature, literary literacy, and the relevance of AfroBrazilian literature in the school context. This qualitative, participatory research was conducted with 23 second-year high school students at a public state school in Linhares-ES. Data analysis revealed that Diário de Bitita mobilized processes of identification, critical reflection, and cultural repertoire expansion among students, fostering understanding of ethnic-racial issues and appreciation for historically silenced voices. The study also found that literary literacy, by articulating aesthetic experience and intercultural dialogue, constitutes a pedagogical practice capable of enhancing critical reader formation and promoting democratization of access to literature. Thus, the research results reinforce the urgency of securing a place for Afro-Brazilian literature in high school education, not merely as curricular content, but as an instrument of social and educational transformation
