OLIVEIRA, Heli Sabino de and SANTOS, Erisvaldo Pereira dos. The Cenarab as an experience of the black educador movement in Youth and Adult Education. e-Curriculum [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.155-177. Epub May 06, 2022. ISSN 1809-3876. https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2022v20i1p155-177.
This work examines the Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in the Centre for Africanity and Afro-Brazilian Resistance (Cenarab), focusing on its special arrangements as a symbolic place by the teacher and the courseware utilized in the classes. Even if it is not a religious location, Cenarab is marked by symbols of cults rooted in African diaspora religions which denotes your position in the realm of the sacred. Such procedure interferes in the educational experience of EJA. The present study comes from a qualitative research highlighting the concepts of identity politics, politics of recognition and silent curriculum. Having as main reference Nilma Gomes’s book Movimento Negro Educador (Black Educator Movement) (2017), contemplating more references such as Gonçalves, McLaren and Frago. Through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, we found out that EJA’s proposal could contribute for the construction of a society in which the different is not treated with despise, neither as a threat.
