Abstract

The article analyzes the inclusion of education for ethnic-racial relations in teacher training, based on an examination of the curricula of pedagogy courses at federal universities in minas gerais. funded by fapemig universal 2022, the research is linked to a study group focused on reflecting on anti-racist pedagogical practices and the implementation of law no. 10,639/03, which made the inclusion of afro-brazilian and african history and culture in education mandatory. the main objective is to understand how pedagogy courses incorporate this legislation and promote teacher training committed to racial equity. methodologically, the study adopts documentary research, analyzing pedagogical course projects (ppcs) and course descriptions in order to identify the presence and treatment of ethnic-racial themes in the curricula. the theoretical framework is based on authors such as abdias nascimento (2020), beatriz nascimento (rattz, 2021), nilma lino gomes (2019), kabengele munanga (1983), and carlos moore (2007), whose works discuss afrocentric epistemologies, quilombismo, the decolonization of thought, and black resistance. these authors denounce the eurocentric and colonial nature of the knowledge produced in educational institutions, proposing a reconstruction of educational practices based on

 

african and afro-diasporic values. the article argues that the brazilian school curriculum remains structured under a eurocentric and exclusionary logic, which reinforces the need for an epistemological and political reconfiguration of education. in this context, the black movement, including the protagonism of black women, plays an essential role in the formulation of decolonizing pedagogies and in the valorization of knowledge from the global south. it concludes that the implementation of education for ethnic-racial relations requires a profound revision of curricula, valuing black, quilombola, and afrocentric epistemologies as the foundation for critical, emancipatory teacher training committed to social justice.
