This article presents the methodological and ethnographic research, which was made with the ‘’Ala das Crianças’’ of a Samba School in São Paulo, with the purpose of knowing the experiences of girls and boys from this locus, the highlighting and the aspects related to the categories of sex/gender, age/generation, race/ethnicity, and expanding the understanding of the pluralities of Brazilian black children. The study was structured in the following methodological instruments: participant observation, informal conversations, with records in a specific notebook and semi-structured interviews, with previous scripts and their authorization. The analyses reveal the Samba School as a space for the reproduction of values and patterns of a white society, but also, a territory of creations of other narratives about the childhoods of black girls and boys/ those who, in addition to prejudice and racial discrimination, such issues are addressed in most academic research on this theme in the educational field, and reveal dreams and possibilities to become kings and queens, of powerful black identity and belonging.
KEYWORDS: Black Children. Education. Identities. Samba School.
