Abstract: 

This article aims to contextualize the issue of racism in Brazil and secondly to bring up the issue of the black child girl, at the intersection of gender and race, who until today experience Eurocentric postures that evidence the black race as something pejorative. The hegemony of female identity is straight hair, blond, thin. This range of stereotypes causes girls not to accept themselves as they are, causing race erasure as they seek to modify traces of their blackness to be accepted by themselves and by society. The culture of the black race, the customs, the religiosity intend the childhood, causing in the child solitude.
