In light of the silencing of issues of race in Brazilian public education, we analyse the experiences of student teachers of colour participating in a professional development project coordinated by the authors. We report findings of a qualitative study arising from the project, based on reflective journals and interviews, and focusing on processes of racial resignification and resistance. The narratives produced by participants are situated in relation to dominant discourses of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=22166\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racial democracy<\/a> and mixing, which deny the possibility of a politicised Afro-Brazilian identity. We show how hybrid identifications, drawing on cultural resources and networks that involve transnational circulation, are part of the construction of new social identities in the context of teacher education.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/09620214.2018.1444504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Constructions of race in Brazil: resistance and resignification in teacher education International Studies in Sociology of Education Volume 27, 2018 &#8211; Issue 2-3: Special Issue: Migration, Borders, and Education: International Sociological Inquiries pages 307-323 DOI: 10.1080\/09620214.2018.1444504 Joel Austin Windle Department of Modern Languages Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niteroi, Brazil Kassandra Muniz Departamento de Letras Universidade Federal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,83,2895,21,8,394,23],"tags":[29733,29730,29731,29729,29732],"class_list":["post-57986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-brazil","category-campus-life","category-latincarib","category-media-archive","category-socialscience","category-teaching","tag-international-studies-in-sociology-of-education","tag-j-a-windle","tag-joel-a-windle","tag-joel-austin-windle","tag-kassandra-muniz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57986"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57987,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57986\/revisions\/57987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
