Abstract

GUEROLA, CARLOS MAROTO. “STUDENTS WOULD HAVE TO STUDY TO BE ABLE TO BUY FOOD”: GUARANI SCHOOLING AS NEED, RIGHT AND DUTY. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.71, e227159.  Epub Nov 08, 2017. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782017227159.

This paper aims at questioning the Western view on education as a universal human right, contrasting it to the Guarani demand for schooling as an intercultural right. It departs from a literature review that discusses the delegitimization and silencing of indigenous populations on grounds of their differences from the Western standard of experience and knowledge, insofar as it discusses the bond between this delegitimization and silencing and the imposition of the universal needs and obligation to schooling. On the basis of an ethnographic qualitative research methodology, discourses are interpreted to serve as income to describe the Guarani intercultural right to schooling, as well as the roles, responsibilities and knowledge practices assigned to Guarani differentiated schooling by the indigenous teachers of the school of Tekoa Itaty or Morro dos Cavalos village (Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil).

Keywords : Guarani; indigenous schooling; human rights.
