ABSTRACT
The article analyzes the construction and experience of pedagogical practices of valorization of black identity, memory and culture, through the pedagogical itinerary of two school institutions. We assume Latin American post-colonial studies as a theoretical-methodological approach in dialogue with Afrocentricity as an epistemological position. We approach the pedagogical practical category as a collective, intentional and institutional action and we use ethnography. The research was carried out in two municipal public schools, in the cities of Campinas, São Paulo, and Salvador, Bahia. In the organization and analysis of the data, we adopted content analysis. The findings indicate that the pedagogical itinerary of school institutions is intertwined in a context of curricular dispute; and that pedagogical practices refer to principles of the African worldview recreated in Brazil in dialogue with the thinking of Paulo Freire, that generates another way of thinking and doing education.
