AFRICAN HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY AT SCHOOL
History of Africa; Religious Racism; Religious Diversity; Classroom.
The present work addresses the possibilities of African history in a 7th grade class (elementary school II), in a private school in the Juca Rosa neighborhood (EunápolisBahia). To this end, in the approaches to African History we use: the General History of Africa Collection (UNESCO, 2010), Valetin-Yves Mudimbe (2013), BethWell Allan Ogot (2010), Djubril Tamsir Niane (2010), Alberto da Costa e Silva (2011), Felipe Augusto Barreto Rangel (2013), ), John K. Thornton (2004), Marian Malowist (2010), Selma Pantoja (2000), Anderson Ribeiro Oliva (2008), Mariana Bracks Fonseca (2012 and 2018), among others. To address religious racism, we use authors such as: Sidnei Barreto Nogueira (2020), Antonio Gomes da Costa Neto (2023), Elina Inkeri Hartikainen (2021), Pedro Henrique Araújo Orlandi and Thaize de Souza Reis (2022), Benedito and Fernandes (2020), Brazil (2023) through the thematic booklet Combating intolerance, violence and religious racism, among others. In general, we aim to build anti-racist educational practices in the school context, through meaningful learning about African History. To intervene in the classroom, in the fight against religious racism, and to improve the studies pertinent to the History of Africa in accordance with legislation 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008, We developed the ebook "Africa in Religions Beyond the Temples: Intolerance and Reflections". With this educational product (EP), we intend to expand knowledge about African History in the classroom, as a way to reflect on the possibilities of diversity and thus reduce the practices of religious racism, strengthening the coexistence of religious diversity in society.
