This article analyzes how Black Consciousness and Citizenship (CCN), a curriculum produced at the Steve Biko Cultural Institute (Biko) in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, is influential to the production of a Black identity. In addition, I assess “the relationship between Black identity and education” at Biko through the lens of Zirkel and Johnson’s strengths-based narratives as a counternarrative to anti-Blackness and Afrophobia in Brazilian society. CCN is elevated in analysis as a culturally representative model of education for Afro-Brazilian youth in Salvador and the city’s periphery. Culturally representative education here refers to a racially, culturally, and socially inclusive educational mode. Zirkel and Johnson’s recommended approaches are parallel to those employed through CCN to produce a positive identification with Black racial identity which counters anti-Black and Afrophobic sentiment.

比科：通过美国视角探索巴西的黑人身份

本文分析了巴西巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多的史蒂夫·比科文化学院（Biko）制作的一门课程黑人意识和公民权（CCN）对黑人身份产生的影响。另外，我通过Zirkel和Johnson的基于优势的叙事的镜头，评估了比科（Biko）在“黑人认同与教育之间的关系”，以此作为对巴西社会中反黑与仇外的反叙述。在分析方面，CCN被提升为萨尔瓦多和城市外围地区的非洲裔巴西青年的文化代表性教育模式。这里的文化代表性教育是指种族，文化和社会包容的教育模式。
