CASTILLO, SANDRA SOLER. RACISM AND EDUCATION. A CRITICAL REVIEW. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, e192221.  Epub Sep 20, 2018. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698192221.

This article introduces a critical review about racism and education. Educational approaches related to this topic such as the first multiculturalism, anti-racist education and critical multiculturalism are analyzed. Then the article delves into developing elements to reflect upon educational praxis in order to claim the right for educational self-determination. Such elements comprise agency and teachers’ positioning, critical awareness development and the need to discuss contents that privilege whiteness. The conclusion draws on the need of anti-racist education to achieve equity through the acknowledgement of how people know, understand and experience themselves as subjects, as community members and as citizens of a nation.

Keywords : Racism; Anti-racist education; Critical multiculturalism.
