Main Article Content
Abstract
The article discusses the challenges faced at school by Geography teachers in the search for the Law 10.639/03’s implementation. Based on a political reading of the teachers' practices, it analyzes conflicts in reaction to proposals for content, activities and behavioral attitudes around racial issues. Thus, the implementation of an anti-racist education - and, as part of it, a teaching of Geography that challenges still hegemonic discourses based on hierarchical racializations - appears as a result of disputes over the interpretation of Law 10.639/03, carried out by teachers who face inertia and opposition (veiled and/or open). The text is based on testimonies collected in an action-research process, through monthly meetings over five years with teachers from public schools (state and municipal) in Rio de Janeiro.
