Educação Popular Negra: breves notas de um conceito

Abstract

In this essay, culture and popular education carried out by the black population are understood in the context of political struggles for liberation and emancipation. In this context, one wonders: do these struggles cause liberation and emancipatory knowledge? The conceptual elaboration of Black Popular Education (EPN) emerges as a way of grasping this generated knowledge that seeks to recognize and value a certain aphrodiasporic socio-political and cultural production. The ideas were developed through bibliographic research. To elucidate the conceptual operability of the EPN related to social practices, it sought to analyze, through the content analysis technique, three studies that guide the recognition of ethnic-racial diversity. The reflections point out that it is in the realization of social practices focused on the black popular culture that the liberation and emancipatory knowledge related to the recognition and appreciation of African and AfroBrazilian culture is constituted, organized and shared.
