Coloniality and decoloniality in the critique of racism and violations: to reflect on the challenges in human rights education. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e71306.  Epub Aug 11, 2021.

This article starts with the reflection of the effects of coloniality in the reproduction of inequality and violence in a context of rupture of the social pact and threat to democracy in Brazil. From a critical and decolonial conception of human rights, we seek to relate the deepening of social, ethnicracial and gender inequality with the coloniality that acts in the instances of being, knowledge and power and, in this logic, leads power structures and systems. Through theoretical research on coloniality, decoloniality and inequality, central challenges are indicated that reposition the historical role of civil society, forms of resistance, social struggles, in the materialization of human rights, in the emancipatory direction.

Keywords : Coloniality; Decoloniality; Racism; Human rights.
