摘要：O presente texto se debruça sobre os títulos de literatura infanto-juvenil A caixa dos segredos (Record, 2010), de Rogério Andrade Barbosa; e Meu tataravô era africano (DCL, 2009), de Georgina Martins, apresentando os pontos de aproximação e distância que eles estabelecem ao tematizar a escravização africana. Refletir sobre a literatura de recepção infantil e juvenil pressupõe trazer à tona o diálogo com as demandas do mercado editorial e o espaço escolar, e apontar de que modo esses textos colaboram, ou não, para a construção de uma sociedade antirracista.
其他摘要：The present paper draws on two children’s and young adult literature books, The Box of Secrets (Record, 2010) (A caixa dos segredos), by Rogério Andrade Barbosa and My Great-great Grandfather was African (DCL, 2009) (Meu tataravô era africano), by Georgina Martins. It presents points of contact and divergence that these books establish when thematizing the African slavery. Reflecting upon the children’s and young adult literature and its reception presupposes bringing to light the dialogue between demands from the editorial market and the school. It also helps unveil to what extent these texts collaborate for the construction of an anti-racist society.
