Abstract

The objective of this paper is to question the relation between high abilities/giftedness and the intersection among gender, race and social class. The method was documental through content analysis of the work Quarto de Despejo (1960) written by Carolina Maria de Jesus. Results were the content of extreme poverty, negligence of fundamental rights, violence committed by men, women and children, alcoholism, the presence of reading and writing and Carolina’s perceptions regarding her life and social milieu. We consider that social markers as gender, race and social class have a main role in marginalization and consequent lack
of development of abilities and potentials. All society takes advantage giving opportunities to the development of gifted people’s potential because benefits of inclusion are for everybody. Besides, it is necessary to consider Brazilian social and historical reality in identification, evaluation and educational service of giftedness.
