“IT’S NOT BABY, SHE’S BLACK”: CHILD EDUCATION AND INTERSECTIONAL THINKING

This article aims to contribute to the studies related to Early Childhood Education, exploring the aspects related to the intersections between the process of racialization, the relations of gender, age, and social class established in the routine of a public daycare center that serves children aged 0 to 3. It is an ethnography carried out in the metropolitan region of Campinas-SP in the course of one year, making use of a field notebook for record purposes, and interviews with the teachers of the unit. Based on the analyses, it can be noted that children often reproduce hierarchies based on the patriarchal and racist order, as well as there are sexist-racist pedagogical practices in the daycare center.
