Invisibilidade negra: as comunidades quilombolas de Aceguá/RS e os caminhos da implantação da Lei 10.639/2003

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze how the city of Acegua, within the municipal schools, is implementing Law 10.639 / 2003, which makes it required to teach History and Afro-Brazilian Culture in public and private schools throughout the country. Understanding this implementation process and also the existing tensions are very important when it comes to a city that has two Quilombola communities properly recognized by the Palmares Cultural Foundation since 2009. For this study a documentary research was realized, analyzing the Municipal Education Plan and also a field research in the communities to collect the informations. The present research has brought some paradoxes such as the non-recognition of the quilombolas communities by the schools and at the same time several goals and strategies destined to this public in the Municipal Education Plan. Some authors have been used for these analysis, such as Marcus Vinicius Fonseca, Renísia Cristina Garcia, Vera Lucia Candau and Demerval Saviani, among others that lead us to a reflection about the discrimination in the school environment, the importance of the real effectiveness of this new law, if compared with others, and the challenge of its implantation in a society that has projected itself white.
