Abstract
This article aims to present a discussion on the teaching of ethnic-racial relations in school geography from the Reference Curriculum of the State of Goiás. 16 years after the implementation of law 10639/03, which obliges the teaching of African history and Afro-Brazilian culture in basic education, we are still faced with the silencing of school institutions in the face of an anti-racist agenda and the lack of pedagogical and conceptual training of teachers to deal with the issue. In this sense, we question how the teaching of geography has contributed to the teaching of ethnic-racial relations and how the learning objectives established in the Reference Curriculum of the State of Goiás make this approach possible. In addition to teaching practices at school, we discuss as presented in the Reference Curriculum of the State of Goiás the expectations of learning in the context of Geography for citizen and “inclusive” training The debate on the importance of geographical science in respecting differences and in dealing with racial relations is a way to build critical geographical thinking and mobilizing social justice.
