This article addresses pedagogies of raciality in infant education and comes from research conducted in two infant schools in the large Porto Alegre (Brazil) where the protagonists are four- to six-yearold boy and girl. This study aims to know how and what children understand and think about race and racism through their saying. The text provides accounts and analyses of teaching practices about the subject, from the introduction of black-bodied female dolls, infant literature and interaction with the Quilombola community to children in the infant education. To produce research data, we used postmodern ethnography with infant research through a bricolage of participating observations, analysis of discursiveness, playing with black female dolls, pictures, visits, infant books, etc. Using these tools opened up possibilities for children’s voice to emerge concerning race, raciality and blackness. Analyses conducted here have drawn on Foucault (1998), Sodré (1999), Kaercher (2006, 2011), Marques (2013, 2013a), Dornelles (2007, 2010, 2012, 2013), Meyer & Paraíso (2012), Touraine (2007), etc. Studies showed that research strategies produced a useful field for racialised children teaching practices, and we established a proposal for anti-racist education from infant education.

Keywords : Infant education; Female black dolls; Blackness; Race; Anti-racist education; Pedagogies of raciality.
