ESTAÇÃO PRIMEIRA DA EDUCAÇÃO: MANGUEIRA'S 2019 SAMBA-ENREDO FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ANTI-RACIST, TRANSGRESSIVE AND COUNTER-COLONIAL EDUCATION
Law 10.639/03; Classroom; Samba-Enredo; Estação Primeira de Mangueira.
In 2003, Law No. 10.639/03 was passed, amending the 1996 Education Guidelines and Bases Law and making it compulsory to teach Afro-Brazilian culture and history in educational institutions throughout the school segment. Based on this legislation, we realise that there is a need and possibility to question possible pedagogical actions that are based on anti-racist practices and corroborate a transgressive and counter-colonial education. Therefore, I bring up the use of Estação Primeira de Mangueira's 2019 Samba-Enredo as a pedagogical ally for the construction of this liberating education. As well as being the winning samba of the year, it was one of the few songs that ‘broke through the carnival bubble’ and managed to enter several homes. Through all its historical, social and political contributions, Samba tells the story that history doesn't tell and shows different, as well as positive, narratives about the black population. My methodology is qualitative research, as I aim to contribute to multicultural education that goes beyond the classroom. Thus, in order to subvert racist logic, this dissertation sets out to discuss how the aforementioned composition can act as an ally, aiming to show innovative, anti-racist and transgressive ways of applying this law. Thus, Samba and the Estação Primeira de Mangueira gave light and coloured this thought pink, faithfully corroborating the main objective of the research.
