Abstract

BACKES, José Licínio. The presence of black cultural subjects in the context of higher education and the assertion of their identity. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2010, n.15, pp.137-146. ISSN 1645-7250.

This paper is a result of a research project related to the Graduate Studies Program in Education of the Dom Bosco Catholic University. The project, “The affirmation of black identity through access to the university: The Negraeva project” is funded by the FUNDECT/MS. Its goal is to examine the production of black cultural identities through the curriculum that circulates in higher education. The author’s understanding of curriculum is inspired by the post-critical theories that see it as an arena of struggle and challenge, an arena that produces identities and differences in the territory of culture. It is an area of dispute where some identities are legitimized and others are not.

Keywords : Culture; identity; curriculum; blacks.
