Abstract

This work analyzes the implementation of Law 10,639/03 in the city of Nova Andradina/MS considering three public school institutions at the federal, state and municipal spheres. The research comprehends the law as affirmative action that was configured with the participation of numerous social and political groups, such as the black movement in Brazil which has assumed education over the decades as a priority of its agenda. Among those suggested by the Law of Guidelines and Bases (9,394/96) reformulated by Law 10,639/03 which considers the teaching of African and AfroBrazilian history and culture required in all schools, many implications are perceived in the subjects' practices. In order to comprehend these many implications of the individuals that deal with the knowledge and practices in History teaching, oral sources, documents and school materials were used. In the account's construction, we sought to relate the typologies of sources to point out difficulties and possibilities of teachers and students regarding the teaching/learning of African and Afro-Brazilian history and culture.
