![]() E professores do país inteiro estão adotando o livro, mesmo que por conta própria, para tratar de racismo em sala de aula. Através da história descobriram como abordar um assunto tão duro. Outras duas coisas inesperadas e incríveis que aconteceram: pais estão usando o livro para conversar com seus filhos pequenos sobre racismo. Situações iguais ou similares às que contamos em Pele aconteceram mesmo com muita gente. Em eventos, as histórias chegam até nós pessoalmente, é muito bonito. No Instagram, a hashtag #jeremiaspele contém a maioria. RC: Recebemos uma quantidade bem grande de depoimentos pelas redes sociais, isso constantemente nos alimenta com a sensação de que fizemos um bom trabalho e o próximo precisa ser tão bom quanto, tão respeitoso com as pessoas quanto. Like the rapper Emicida, who has praised the story in the comic's back cover, you must have received a lot of responses from readers. ![]() GV: There is something powerful in the effects of your work, which is the feedback by people who have felt connected with the book. It is feeling part of the world on an equal footing. It is my existence not being tied only to slavery, as schools seem to say and TV shows repeat. It is knowing that my story, my family’s story, is not only sadness or stereotypes repeated by malicious people. Not having to adjust to a lived experience which is so different, to dilemmas which are not mine. RC:Representation for me is not feeling different when I read/see something. É me sentir parte do mundo em pé de igualdade. É minha existência não estar atrelada apenas à escravidão, como a escola parece dizer e a novela repetir. É saber que a minha história, a história da minha família, não é só tristeza ou estereótipos repetidos por gente mau-caráter. Não ter que me adequar a uma vivência tão diferente, dilemas que não são meus. RC: Representação para mim é não me sentir diferente quando leio/assisto algo. I confess that I used to avoid thinking much about this and wanted to focus on today, but making this story was like making peace with the boy that I was. And it was cathartic for me, listing events and remembering how I felt without understanding much of what was happening. Rafael Calça (RC): Jefferson and I talked about what we went through in childhood and how certain events are common to the black lived experience. Confesso que evitava pensar muito nisso e queria focar no hoje, mas fazer essa história foi como fazer as pazes com o menino que eu fui. E foi uma catarse pra mim, listar situações e lembrar como me senti sem entender muito o que acontecia. Rafael Calça (RC): O Jefferson e eu conversamos sobre o que passamos na infância e como certos eventos são comuns na vivência negra. Global Voices (GV): In the creation of the comic, you investigated stories, events, and insecurities of a black child of school age. I spoke with scriptwriter Rafael Calça to learn about how he created the story and the feedback he has had from the readers since: It is a read that certainly would have helped this writer to face his days at school. The authors managed to create a work that is very tough in some of the stories that it tells and very sensitive in its essence and the sweetness that endures at the end of the comic. Jeremias – Pele , as well as entertaining, could help children and families deal with this situation. If it is hard for most people, for a black child the journey is even more difficult, as there is one other component: racism. ![]() School age is a time of tough trials, a time of turbulent hormonal changes when one builds convictions and creates their own personality. In the case of Jeremias, this was manifested in the works of Rafael Calça (script) and Jefferson Costa (art and colour), two black artists, inspired by so many other youths and adults for whom skin colour has already been a subject of debate.Įxcerpt from Jeremias – Pele, used with the author's permission. With the series Graphic MSP, creator Maurício de Sousa revisited his classic characters with the contemporary outlooks of new artists, who then told stories under different perspectives. Jeremias - who was created in 1960 and is the first black character of the group – had never led his own story. Created in the 1960s by Maurício de Sousa, the series of comic stories influenced generations of children in Brazil and around 40 other countries, having been translated into 14 languages. Excerpt from Jeremias – Pele, used with the author's permission.“I exist and I want people to see me as I am.” The phrase, uttered with a firm voice, is that of Jeremias, a black boy and a character of the Brazilian comic Turma da Mônica (Monica’s Gang).
