For an unsubmissive University: Law 10.639 / 03 and the challenges of knowledge decolonization
Law 10.639/03; Decolonization of Knowledge; University Extension.
Law No. 10,639/2003 made the teaching of African History and African and African Culture mandatory. Understanding the colonization process imposed in Brazil, followed by the myth of racial democracy, this law is another tool to combat structural and institutional racism constituted in this society. It is the result of the struggle of the black movement, which strives to show society, despite the forced invisibility, the differences that are present in the constitution of the Brazilian people and that this diversity is a source of pride and wealth of our people, in addition to recognize that school is a mirror of society, and that in this environment racist practices are carried out both structurally and institutionally. Therefore, the objective of this work is through reflexive criticism to address the challenges in the implementation of laws 10,639/2003 and 11,645/2008 that should be addressed primarily, the importance of building devices of decolonization of knowledge to address ethnic and racial and gender issues in the school space and how a university extension action could contribute to the decolonization of the processes of teacher training. Within the framework of this approach, the construction (systematization) of a decolonial methodological proposal is described for the realization of a University Extension Course for the Training of Basic Education Teachers, based on the decolonization of knowledge and the implementation of laws 10,639/03 and 11,645/08, developed over the last two years as a result of the research-action proposed to PPGER.
