Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Amurabi. Gilberto Freyre and education: race, democracy and teaching of african-brazilian history and culture. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.44, pp.159-177. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n44.010.

The advent of Law No. 10,639/03 has led us to a series of problems concerning our culture and identity, revisiting a question that was commonplace in Brazilian social thought in 1920's and 30's: "Who are we?". To assist us in trying to answer this question, in this article I propose a reflection on the contributions of the work of Gilberto Freyre (1900-1987) towards this question, which will be developed based on two axes: In the first I will attempt to explain the relationship between race and education in the author's thought, in the second the focus will be Freyre's interpretation regarding African culture in the formation of Brazilian society, and at this point I will make an effort to indicate how such interpretation can contribute to the discussion brought about by lthe law No. 10,639 / 03.

Keywords : Gilberto Freyre; Law 10.639/03; Teaching of African-Brazilian History and Culture; Anthropology of Education..
