Atos antirracistas na educação básica do campo jacuipense: crianças, jovens e griôs de axé

Abstract

This article presents anti-racist educational practices in two schools in the Riachão do Jacuípe countryside in Bahia. We encourage anti-racist acts that decolonize knowledge/thinking/being/living centered on legislation (Brasil, 2003, 2008; Bahia, 2022) and griô pedagogy (Pacheco, 2006, 2015). From action research, the result of the interdisciplinary project Batuques de Ancestralidade and the Ebooks Pedagogia Griô Contação de Histórias project, this study was born, the results of which demonstrated that pedagogical practices aligned with ethnic-racial protagonism, promoted insurgent and decolonizing curriculum acts, example of storytelling circles, dialogue circles based on the words of the old griô teller, in filmic experiences, in drawings and poetry, in the discoveries of black personalities, in the meeting with the griô masters of the Chapadense peasant community. Adding to this, the strengthening and (re)knowledge of children and youth identities enhanced the experience of ancestry and learning about listening, reverence, reference to older griots; Anti-racist curriculum acts steeped in axé were experienced intensely by children and young people in primary and secondary education, challenging a diverse rural education towards increasingly authentic and insurgent ethnicracial relations.
