ABSTRACT

This article deals with the consolidation of Law 10.639/2003, demonstrating it as an achievement of the Black Movement based on its history of struggles. The purpose set out here is to represent the political effort made by minorities in Brazil, so that a part of the phylogenetic history of its people is consolidated in the form of educational public policy. Proposing quilombola education is an act of persistence against the tyranny of curricula designed for a complex and mixed-race population, such as Brazil, based on what a minority group understands as being necessary to learn. The idea of defending and proposing the inclusion of racial issues in educational environments, by the Black Movement, gained strength and expression from the 1970s onwards, when many black intellectuals had access to public universities. As a result, there are a series of educational studies on blacks in Education and, with the strong presence of blacks in Brazilian public universities, social movements and the struggle for racial equality were simultaneously initiated. What needs to be clarified, in order to understand the authors' text and thought, is that the cultural bond is something that is maintained through direct contact with the elements of culture and, once removed from the community, what remains is a symbolic attachment , no longer a literal sense with the thing itself. New habits are being formed, derived from the old ones and, in this process, a new cultural ideology is being produced, as or more powerful than the one from which it originated. In this sense, it is dangerous to speak of loss of cultural identity, because everything that man creates remains alive, and the original forms, such as dialects, linguistics, gestures, slang are much more expressive than the phenotypic condition , with the subtle difference that this one, to be perceived, just look at the individual, while the others, it is necessary to have a deep knowledge about the culture of others, in which one seeks to create an image of pejoration.
