THE RACIALIZATION OF CRIMINOLOGY AND EDUCATION IN THE TREATMENT OF BRAZILIAN CHILDHOOD: CONTRIBUTIONS TO A DECOLONIAL HISTORYAbstract
The article discusses the criminalization of black children and adolescents in legislation and works by criminologists, produced at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, and in the pedagogical propositions of regeneration through work. In this time frame, the Penal Code of 1890 and the Minors Code of 1927 are analyzed. The hypothesis is the close relationship between criminal racialization and the racial division of education, with the provision of differentiated schooling, in disciplinary institutions, where the Mandatory work presented itself as regenerative pedagogy. Documentary sources were selected: legislation, press and period works, using the authors Norbert Elias and Anibal Quijano as theoretical references. The aim is to problematize the possibilities of a decolonial history of childhood education, which gives visibility to the long-standing tradition of the criminalization of black childhood and the racial division of education, due to the unequal provision of schooling.
