GESSER, Roselita and COSTA, Cleber Lázaro Julião. Black Young Woman: Construction of identity and conflict before a society that does not represent her. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.1, pp.18-30. ISSN 2318-0498. https://doi.org/10.15329/2318-0498.20180010.
This article aims to read and reflect on the construction of ethnic-racial identity of the black woman girl in the school context, characterized by the adolescence. In order to reach this objective, the study of the narrative of the film entitled "Jennifer" was made, problematizing the racial issues and the unfolding lived by the protagonist, with psychodramatic approach and studies focused on the construction of afro-centered identity. The goal is to bring to the surface the crystallized social roles to which black women girls are subjected in a non-representative society that does not support the free expression of their ancestry.
Keywords : young girl; adolescence; racism; ethnic-racial identity; psychodrama.
