The old colorful clothes: Brazil and Africa in school Geography

Abstract

The present text has as objective to discuss the proximal curricular theories and the disparities practiced -Brazilian- with respect to the African continent. After ten years of conquest some themes were settled, others broken, few forgotten and many remain in school practices. We will present how some rapprochements of Brazil with the African continent that pass through the discussion in the teaching of the political discourse as the 'territorial policies', of economy via 'economic transactions', and by the culture with the human exchanges 'Africa-Brazil'. The significant point is to analyze that the colonial past has not ended, but rather has changed clothes and needs to be carefully analyzed in the teaching and learning practices
