Negrinha
by José Bento Renato Monteiro Lobato
'Negrinha' Summary
O conto “Negrinha” narra a história de uma menina negra órfã, adotada por uma família rica e branca, mas que sofre constante maus-tratos e negligência. A narrativa explora a brutalidade da desigualdade social e racial na sociedade brasileira do início do século XX, retratando a vida difícil de Negrinha, que busca afeto e compreensão em um ambiente hostil. O conto expõe a hipocrisia da sociedade da época, que prega a caridade e a compaixão, mas se omite diante da injustiça e da exploração. A obra de Lobato, apesar de ser criticada por alguns por conter elementos considerados racistas, apresenta um retrato contundente da realidade social brasileira, servindo como um testemunho histórico da época e despertando reflexões sobre as questões raciais e sociais que persistem até os dias atuais.Book Details
