Consubstantialities between afro-brazilian studies centers and law 10.639/2003

Abstract

This article is part of an already completed research that focused on mapping the Afro-Brazilian Studies Centers (NEABs), present in federal universities. Regarding the importance of the existence of NEABs, woven by the threads of resistance, confrontation and black militancy, it is also appropriate to highlight the three pillars that make up and legitimize these intellectual spaces, they are: teaching, research and extension, where discussions are also addressed punctual issues that permeate ethnic-racial themes; problematize and articulate the implementation of affirmative actions in favor of historical reparation towards the black population segment, a continuous movement that seeks to guarantee equity in the access and permanence of Afro-Brazilians to higher education, with a view to the principle of isonomy and education for the struggle anti-racist. Combined with the emergence of Afro-Brazilian Studies Centers (NEABs), Law No. 10,639/2003 enhances the relevance and relevance of both. The NEABs can be considered intellectual quilombos that have assumed epistemic power within public universities and actively participate in development movements in favor of the expansion and applicability of Law nº 10,639/2003.
