REGGAE E POEMA: O NAVIO NEGREIRO PASSADO E PRESENTE

The present work aims to propose an intertextual relationship between Castro Alves' poem “Navio Negreiro” and the song by the group O Rappa “Every camburão has a bit of a slave ship”, leading to a reflection in the classroom on racism in Brazil. The aim is to demonstrate to the 9th year elementary school student, who is the target audience, how elements of the literary text belonging to the romantic movement of the 19th century find correspondence in the lyrics of the song by the group O Rappa. Understanding literature as a universal manifesto of all men at all times, as Antônio Candido (2004) said in “The Right to Literature”. In the book “República sung do choro ao funk”, Diniz and Cunha (2014) say that through music, black people could sing their suffering. In this way, we can see the importance of these works of art for the individual's education and the need to use them in the classroom, enabling quality teaching that seeks to motivate the student to learn.
