Black Teaching and the Field School

Professional Training and Innovative Pedagogical Practices in Afro-Brazilian Culture. The book expresses the actualisation of a trajectory of many struggles and successes, both for me and for the students who became writers together with me, as well as for the life stories of the subjects researched. It was in these daily activities, in a pedagogical and academic training programme, that this scientific production emerged. The authors were centred on the need to construct meaning, on the urgency of recovering socio-cultural content in order to fully understand the history of Brazilian society and the contribution of black people to the social, economic and cultural construction of the country, and I was eager to learn how to contribute to this cause. Working on this line of research in Human Rights and Diversity represented the possibility of fulfilling a goal, highlighting the awareness of the school's role in avoiding silence about any form of discrimination, and racism is a cruel way of dominating some over others. To enable the intellectual potential of thousands of brilliant minds to flourish in Brazilian schools, preventing them from being imprisoned by prejudice.
