        Pedagoginga, autonomia e mocambagem

        by da Rosa, Allan

        “Pedagoginga, Autonomia e Mocambagem" harmonizes with some very important spheres: the philosophical, historical and contextualized attention on what was conventionally called black cultures; the consistent implementation of the teaching of history and culture of these matrices from African sources and heads, black feet and hands, the sweaty dream of an autonomous popular education movement on the outskirts of São Paulo at the beginning of the 21st century. pillars, challenges and also contradictions, and with this perspective, he invites the reader to reflect on the educational practice, so the author presents a new pedagogical proposal, new but twisted to ancestral aesthetics and fundamentals, which implies the autonomy of educators and students , as well as a genuine commitment to Afro-Brazilian culture. Here is a book of reflections, doubts, slides and nin hos on a practice of years in Popular Education whose motto is the experience of organizing and implementing independent courses in our peripheries in São Paulo, focused on the black experience of yesterday, the future, today and that of so many lines, spirals and balls of the time that we weave. The book is part of the Insurgências Collection, which was born with the aim of sharing and revolving reflections and practices committed to different ways of thinking about the world, relationships, ways of learning and teaching.

        Ó pa í, Prezada

        by Akotirene, Carla

        O pa í, prezada: institutional racism and sexism taking a tram in the women's penitentiaries is the second book by Carla Akotirene, who also published Interseccionalidade, by the Plural Feminisms collection. In it, the author is based on an Afrocentric methodology to collect and analyze data on the absence of public policies on gender and race for women incarcerated in Salvador. This study is a faithful and necessary portrait of the general panorama of Brazilian prisons and sheds light on a situation we need to be aware of, as a society in which mass incarceration, especially of the black and poor population, is an epidemic.

        Tetã Tekoha

        by Nhandewa, Alexandro; Yvoty, Ana Lúcia; Silva, Débora; Zamboni, Felipe; Sabino, Jaqueline; Tupã, Rodrigo; Pyntánh, Tiago; Matias, Uerique; Jacintho, Valéria; Queiroz, Yago

        Tetã Tekoha is a cry of resistance from ten young Guarani indigenous people, students at the State University of Londrina (UEL). Members of the Indigenous Word project, which sought to bring together and develop their authorship and their role, the students present first-person reports, with their own style - and a lot of emotion - in a search for affirmation of identity, ancestry and identification with both worlds: village and the city. From their experience at the university, where they study to deepen knowledge that may be useful to their people and question the invisibility and imposition of Western culture as unique, they want to show that they move between the worlds without abandoning their essence.

        Intolerância Religiosa

        by Nogueira, Sidnei

        Master and PhD in Linguistics at the University of São Paulo, the babalorixá Sidnei Nogueira presents a history of religious intolerance in Brazil, also remembering important moments in human history marked by religious domination, such as the Roman Empire, Middle Ages and Nazism. From there, it discusses the expression "religious intolerance", currently used to describe a set of ideologies and attitudes that are offensive to religious beliefs, rituals and practices considered non-hegemonic. Practices that, added to the lack of skill or the desire to recognize and respect different beliefs of others, can be considered hate crimes that harm human freedom and dignity.

        De cor da pele

        by Camargo, Denise

        More than three hundred years of slavery have bequeathed to Brazil a society in which racism infiltrates daily life in the most perverse ways. From the coloring pencils used at school to the terms with which people define themselves, resulting from the range of tones that miscegenation - recognized or not - produces, the beauty of color and diversity is only now beginning to be noticed.
