HACIA UNA EDUCACIÓN RELIGIOSA INTERCULTURAL. NOTAS ECHUSÍACAS

Abstract

While interculturality in schools is an urgent need in Brazil, intercultural education does not seem to have adequate importance. This is what we can see when we look at Brazilian education, which is still asleep in a colonial dream. However, the historical struggle of marginalized sectors of society against colonial oppression, such as the black movement, has achieved some success. Laws 10639/2003, 12.711/2012 and the fact that Brazilian Religious Education has interculturality as its theoretical and pedagogical foundation demonstrate this. This article aims, from an echusiac perspective and focusing on Afro-Brazilian culture, to reflect and discuss interculturality in education in Brazil, especially R eligious Education, and to reinforce its urgency as a field that allows openings for a liberating interculturality.
