Education of Youth and Adult Workers, Ethnic-racial Relations and Geography Teaching: learning from a look in search of interseccionality

Racism is a structural problem and its struggle must also be addressed through educational intervention. Hence the importance of reflecting how the theme is treated in the school system, since we believe that it is capable of contributing to the transformation of the imaginary, values, cultures and behaviors. Arroyo (2007) emphasizes that it is in the context dictated by the ideology of racial democracy that the public-school system will promote "exclusionary inclusion" or "selective integration", thus concluding that the current educational system brings with it an origin addiction that is very effective for the exclusive purposes for which it was structured. Proof of this exclusionary and racist structure materializes up to this day in the special groups of repeaters and also in the classes of EJA, revealing in their color the prejudiced logic of our education. The fact of discussing / problematizing race relations in the EJA field does not mean excluding from this discussion the fact that EJA students are hegemonically of the working class or working-class children of the more subalternized portion of this class as Ventura points out (2011). From this perspective, this dissertation sought to analyze the Racial Questionnaire and Geography Teaching in the Education of Young and Working Adults, based on the bias of Cresnhwa's intersectionality (2002), since this bias indicates that we do not always deal with different groups of people, but with overlapping groups. Although Law 10639/03 refers specifically to the areas of knowledge of History, Art and Literature the programmatic content related to the black people, what is proposed in this work is to extend this debate to other areas of knowledge, the Geography. Thus, we analyzed the scientific production in the decade 2006/2016 of GTS 18 and 21 of ANPED, RBE, ANPEGE and Brazilian Journal of Geography Education, seeking the intersectionality between EJA, Racial Questionnaire and possible theoretical and methodological clues for the teaching of Geography. In addition, the question of class and race was analyzed, structured the Brazilian society and impacted on the school system, putting the black population on the sidelines and, finally, an analysis was made of the new EJA Program that restructured the EJA in MS in the State Public Network of Rio de Janeiro, pointed out dilemmas, challenges and perspectives of the said Program on Racial Issues and the teaching of Geography for the Education of Young and Working Adults.
