Understanding that structural racism exists, even in the school space, and that it needs to be fought, we believe that the decolonization of the curricula provides an expansion of other knowledge. This research is anchored in ethnography as methodology to investigate how language teachers of two schools in the municipality of São Gonçalo, metropolitan region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, think about their practices of anti-racist literacy, what are the daily confrontations and strategies of these teachers, the didactic sequences and projects that revolve around the racial theme, compare the experiences between the schools and identify the advances found. It will use as a research technique, the in-depth interviews, having as theoretical assumptions the literacies: ideological, reexistence, racial, and survival. Dialoguing with the power relations presented by the triad colonialism, capitalism and patriarchy presented by Mbembe (2018) and with the epistemologies of the south of Santos (2019) to weave networks of knowledge that collaborate to the construction of an antiracist education project. We hope to trace paths of resistance and contribute to the construction of practices and methodologies that impact the school daily life beyond borders.
