Abstract
This article proposes to bring some reflections about social identities with regard to the racial issue intersected with gender, and the ways in which these issues are represented in a children's book Lara's black dolls. The theoretical framework adopted for the discussion on Critical Racial Theory and the Theoretical support for the analysis of children's literature worked from a racial perspective From a methodological point of view, this is a bibliographic research, which aims to discuss the relevance of Critical Racial Theory in education and bring an analysis of a book with black characters. As a result of the research, I emphasize the importance of this Theory to unveil racial prejudice in school institutions and to review the choices of Children's Literature. I emphasize the need to break with the silences that permeate the pedagogical context around differences, problematizing them.
