RIBEIRO, Débora. The law 10.639/03 as a decolonizing potential of the curricullum: tessitures and impasses. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp.301-315.  Epub Apr 30, 2020. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2019.232.07.

The object of this study is to analyse the potential decolonizer of the Law nº 10.639/03, which inserts the obligatory teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian History and Culture. For this purpose, we use the referential of Latin American Decolonial thinking to affirm the need to construct a decolonial pedagogy, that considers different knowledge and cultures in equal dialogue. However, to analyze the potential decolonizer of the Law 10.639/03 it is also necessary to consider the scope of educational policies guided by international financial and multilateral organizations, whose focus is the mitigation of conflicts and not the transformation of society. The results indicate that despite the impasses, the Law is an important instrument for the construction of a decolonial education, as part of the claims of the black movements and affirms the legitimacy of knowledge, the history and culture of historically silenced social and cultural groups.

Keywords : Interculturality; Social movements; Decolonization.
