| Sumario: | This article aims to analyze the relations of misery and childhood in “Zaíta esqueceu de guardar os brinquedos” and “Lumbiá”, short stories by Conceição Evaristo (2015), highlighting the black children’s situation of social vulnerability through a critical and representative literature. As an exploratory bibliographic research, it is based on studies caried by Duarte (2010), Evaristo (2009), Engels (2010), Priore (2010), Santos (2017), among others. Furthermore, it is possible to observe that by occupying largely the margin of society, black children are increasingly cut off from the support of the family and the State, thus, building their experiences on the basis of violence, child labor, as well as, in the denial of their rights as the analyzed short stories show. |
