Black education

Challenges beyond a brazilian formal education in search of re-existence

Abstract

The Question of Brazilian Education is placed, within the scope of the efforts of the Brazilian State, as a formality, both in terms of institutional molds and curricular models. From the perspective pointed out by Renato Noguera, Luís Rufino Rodrigues and Muniz Sodré, who, from the “heavenly deserts of metaphysics”, understand that Brazilian Education produces, reproduces and objectifies black stories, it is considered the importance and need to assert others. epistemologies that promote a break with the epistemology of “whiteness”, or “whiteness”, in order to maintain white structures as a eugenic/behavioral model for Black Education. A Re-existence Pedagogy is proposed, as claimed by Ailton Krenak with regard to the indigenous awareness of their diversities and history. Pedagogy of black re-existence presupposes the construction of a black locus based on African philosophical references and their tetraletic relations with nature and spirituality.
