Afroperspectivity in the philosophy teaching: the Lei 10.639/03 possibilities before the nonchalance and epistemic racism

Abstract

In this paper we aim to go alongside the reader through a threefold reflexive path: The first one is over the reproduction and prolongation effects of epistemic racism in Brazilian philosophical education, the second path is through the resilience of the American Indigenous and African descendent which culminated at Brazil the promulgation of both the Lei 10.639/03 and the Lei 11.645/08, which added important guidelines inside of our educational system at all its levels. Thus, the proposal of Afroperspectivity as a pedagogical methodology which allows a Brazilian renunciation of the epistemic racism in Philosophy teaching.
