Teaching african history and the law 10.639/2003 in paraná: observations about History teaching degree courses (UFPR, UNILA, UEM and UEL)
Abstract
The Law 10.639/2003 (Brasil, 2003), which resulted from decades of struggles by the Black Movement in Brazil, established the mandatory teaching of African History and Afro-Brazilian History and Culture in national curricula. Since the approval of this law, a significant increase of African History and Afro-Brazilian History has been observed in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Thus, the main objective of this article is to map the impacts of Law 10.639/2003 (Brasil, 2003) on History teaching degree courses in Paraná, with emphasis on federal and state institutions and, more specifically, on the study of cases at UFPR, UNILA, UEM and UEL based on their current Course Pedagogical Projects (PPCs) (as of January 2023). From the mapping carried out, it is possible to identify reverberations of the legislation in the syllabus, especially in the presence of disciplines focused on the History of Africa or of Afro-descendant Brazil, and an approximation with recent African and Africanist historiography.
