THE SOCIOGENESIS OF RACISM AND ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS IN SCHOOL: A CRITICAL VIEW

Abstract

The present study deals with the sociogenesis of racism in Brazil, examining its manifestation in the school environment and the challenges of developing pedagogical practices capable of mitigating this exclusionary culture and its violence. From a current, historical and theoretical contextualization, it seeks to investigate how racism manifests itself in education and what are its consequences in everyday school life, analyzing how prejudice, discrimination and the devaluation of black and indigenous cultures and subjectivities impact the learning process of students. It is concluded that racism is prominent in Brazilian society and its consequences affect education, with impacts on school dropout, student performance and social inclusion.
