Narrativas do racismo estrutural no Brasil contemporâneo

Abstract

This study documentary analyzes racism in the educational field as a structural mechanism of oppression and prejudice in Brazil. We then started from a critical analysis about structural racism in the context of university education, based on data from MEC / Inep, from the national education censuses of the specific years of 2011 and 2018. The choice of the year 2011 was because it was the year prior to the implementation of Law no. 12,711, of August 2012 (Quota Law), and Law no. 11,645 / 2008, which amends Law no. 9,394 / 1996, modified by Law no. 10,639 / 2003, which establishes the guidelines and bases of national education, to include in the official curriculum of the education network the mandatory theme "Afro-Brazilian and indigenous history and culture", from a practical point of view in the life of the AfroBrazilian population. The year 2018, on the other hand, is the most up-to-date data provided by MEC / Inep. From the problematization of the impact of laws, in the cultural and social scope, this study approaches the perspective of structural racism in Brazilian university education. Our study is eminently bibliographic and thus the writings and reflections of professor and researcher Nilma Lino Gomes were used, especially the works "A look beyond borders: education and racial relations" and "The black educator movement", with the work of also professor and researcher Silvio Luiz de Almeida, in a recently published work "What is structural racism?" In order to discuss structural racism in the field of education, we start from an analysis from the perspective of cultural history, having as a theoretical and methodological framework the approach of practice and representation constructed by the researcher Roger Chartier
