Abstract

Faced with the issues surrounding the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture in schools for elementary and high school levels, this work intends to discuss the challenges faced by the teachers of the municipality of Delmiro Gouveia, in the country of State of Alagoas, in their daily lives school. The importance for the formation of individuals in a society is also the responsibility of the school, especially the teacher. This perspective applies to the construction of the plural identities that the students possess about the black identity. The compulsory teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture is guaranteed by law arising from the struggles of the various black movements in the struggle to achieve equality and disqualification from racism in the classroom. The research was carried out in schools of the municipal public school and directed to the teachers of History, carried out using the investigative questionnaire, the FEF (Free Evaluation Form), and content analysis by Laurence Bardin (1977) and Oral History by Verena Alberti (2005), being processed the data, later, and discussed in the results present in this work. It is noticed the lack of knowledge directed to the theme, including by the professionals who should work these concepts in the classroom. Thus, the applicability of legislation is insufficient when faced with reality, considering that there is no follow-up of the effectiveness of the work, and there are few investments in continuing education for these professionals, especially for those who have completed graduation prior to the implementation of the laws. the lack of interest of some teachers to participate in the meetings focused on the area.
