Abstract

Such knowledge, when transformed into claim, became important State policies in the twenty-first century. It is, therefore, a social movement of great importance for the unveiling of questions such as racial discrimination, gender, youth, affirmative actions, africanities, education of ethnic-racial relations, among many others. Nilma Gomes emphasizes the epistemological richness of this movement in the perspective of education, privileging as a theoretical support the contributions of Boaventura de Sousa in the re-signification of concepts as pedagogies of absences and of the emergencies.
