Abstract

This work shows a critical reading on the contents of a film which portrays

racial prejudice. it aims to answer the following question: how can films, when portraying

social conflicts coming from racial laws, contribute to train better prepared and more

capable teachers in dealing with racism and prejudice in the classroom? Then, the film

“sarafina o som da liberdade” has been chosen as a research source with the purpose of

analyzing the cultural, economic, social and political aspects in Africa. Thus, an analysis

methodology has been suggested built upon the cultural studies’ scholars. The use of this

film in the classroom, in that perspective, may open our comprehension to the logic of

domination through racial segregation, and also, contribute to provide actions concerning

the valorization and the recognition of the African and African-descendant histories and

cultures.
