The central questions that guided this research were: “how do racial stereotypes and prejudices interfere with students’ declaration of identification of racial belonging?” and “how can Critical Racial Literacy contribute to the development of the processes of racialization and racial consciousness of students?”. The theoretical foundations of this research are based on the studies of Applied Linguistics (MOITA LOPES, 2006), literacy(s) (ROJO, 2009), critical literacy (MONTE MOR, 2015 and JANKS, 2006) and critical racial literacy (FERREIRA, 2014; 2015). This study is located in the field of qualitative research (LUDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986) and used the case study method (LUDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986 and TELLES, 2002) for data collection. The instruments used were lesson plans, class diaries, open and open questionnaire, audio recording, field notes, workshop script and students' textual productions. The experience here demonstrates how controversial racial self-identification based on racial stereotypes is, clauses such as racial prejudices exert a substantial influence on the declaration of identification of racial belonging of students. It is possible that they will have the opportunity to reflect on racial issues in the Brazilian sociocultural context.Acesso AbertoLetras PortuguêsLetramento racial críticoEducação antirracistaLíngua portuguesaRacial self-identificationCritical Racial LiteracyAnti-racist educationPortuguese languageTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS
