As potencialidades didáticas do podcast para o ensino de história da África

Abstract

This paper focuses on the history of the African continent and its connections to the Atlantic Ocean, with the aim of deconstructing stereotypes and negative views of African peoples by constructing narratives that make them protagonists in the constitution of the so-called Atlantic world in the modern period. The countries central to this approach are those that were colonized by Portugal and are located in the Atlantic Ocean: Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe. The approach to Atlantic history is interesting for demonstrating the complexity of the trade routes and cultural exchanges between the various peoples that formed around this ocean. As an Educational Product, we propose the organization of a podcast containing episodes about each of the countries mentioned above. Pod África tries to highlight the importance of Portuguese-speaking African countries in the constitution of the Atlantic world and the construction of Brazil. We also try to demarcate the specificities of each of these territories.
