Law 10.639 / 03 as a political-pedagogical instrument in the perspective of Interculturality

Abstract

This article deals with Law 10.639/2003 as a political-pedagogical instrument in the perspective of Interculturality. The study firstly deals with a brief historical trajectory of some actions of black social movements in Brazil until the approval of Law 10.639 of 2003. The discussion was basically anchored by means of the referred Law and its congeners, such as: Resolution No. 01/2003, Opinion No. 03/2004, The National Plan for the Implementation of the National Curricular Guidelines for the Education of Ethnic and Racial Relations and for the Teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture and authors dealing with the theme of ethnic-racial relations such as Candau (2016; 2012), Fleuri (2005), Santos (2005), Siss (2003), Silva (2005) Rocha (2011), among others. The research concluded that Law 10.639/03 can constitute a strong political and pedagogical instrument for combating prejudice and racial discrimination in the context of critical multiculturalism or interculturality.
