Loas, tambores e gonguês : a interculturalidade do maracatu de baque virado pernambucano, na perspectiva de uma educação para a igualdade racial

Abstract

One of the greatest achievements of African-Brazilian community, and all those who defend a more egalitarian and antiracist society to Brazil, was the proclamation of the Law 10.639 / 03, which changed the Law 9.394 / 1996, instituting compulsory education of History and Afro-Brazilian and African culture throughout the country. However, the application this Law in educational units is still restricted to a few isolated actions. This work took place on two fronts: The first, through a questionnaire applied to teachers, enrolled as members of the Internet social groups in turn closed to public municipal networks teachers, and of the state teachers of Pernambuco, active in educational institutions from Metropolitan Region of Recife. And the second, through participant observation, from the work of two monitors of More Education Program from Jaboatão. In this way, understand the educational potential of Maracatu de Baque Virado, from the experience of More Education, it is the main objective of the work. It is believed the National Maracatu an educational opportunity to work with the teacher in the implementation of racial ethnic education due to the transforming power that the manifestation of popular culture, it demonstrated for work and for life, monitors and young served by the program More Education Jaboatão. This work includes “a strategy that goes beyond the transformation of decolonization, that is also supposed construction and creation. Its goal is the radical reconstruction of the being, power and knowledge "(OLIVEIRA; CANDAU, 2010). Part of the hypothesis that the lack of information about Brazilian popular culture, and ethnic belonging linked to this culture, such as ”Maracatu de Baque Virado”, consists of a barrier that hinders the effective actions for the fulfillment of the Law 10.639 / 03. The theoretical framework gives support to this work are studies of interculturalism and decolonial pedagogy, and on identities. For the construction of this argument, it was decided of a ethnographic bias research. It includes the questionnaires analysis, semi-structured interviews recorded in audio and video, photographs and statistics. People involved the collection of information are public school teachers in the Greater Recife and monitors of More Education Program Jaboatão. Among the findings, it is evident that there is still information to teachers implement the Law 10.639 / 03 in their practices, and the “Maracatu de Baque Virado”, or nation, attracts and brings young people to a search of their Africanities, from the music, loa, drums and gonguês.
