Dear Readers,

We gladly present one more number of the ABPN's journal, in its eighth volume and eighteenth edition, composed of 13 papers and interviews of the Thematic Dossier Education, Quilombos and History Teaching: paradigm and proposals organized by Professors Flávio Gomes (UFRJ) and Cândida Soares da Costa (UFMT). The dossier has reunited diverse studies, covering many parts of Brazil that reflect complex teaching experiences, social contexts, hindrances and headways of the quilombola education. There are also comparative contributions and essays on the meaning of quilombos and its uses in the political sphere.

This edition is also composed of 8 papers in the free-paper section that discuss research reflection, results and practices about issues that specifically affect the black population.

We thank the organizers of the dossier, collaborators, peer reviewers, authors, translators, editors, secretary, Editorial Board, consultative board, direction and other team members and partners who enabled the publication of this new number, as well as every researcher. 

Our sincere thanks to all who contribute to the ABPN's journal!

Editorial Team
