Abstract
We intend to discuss children's and adolescent literature and the relationship between emotion-cognition in identity building, indicating that such process is not something defined, static, on the contrary; our ways of find ourselves occur throughout life, by unconscious processes that transforms as we fill our expectations. In this sense, we realize that the children and adolescent’s literature contributes forcefully; however the black literature does not yet have proper visibility and penetration in schools; contributing to teachers do not use this instrument in their daily lives, allowing ideologies of whitening, exclusion and discrimination endure in its interior through the prejudiced readings found in children's books of European origin and/or woven with stereotypes about blackness and black identity values.
