“A sequência é demolidora”: o reggae como recurso didático para o ensino de história africana e afrodiaspórica

Abstract

History teaching in Brazil is constructed by colonialism and Eurocentrism, present in the National Common Curriculum Base and in the Maranhão Territory Curriculum Document, which also privileges European experiences, which leads to the deformation of the identities of school subjects. In this way, reggae is not narrated as a historical experience of the people of Maranhão to be known and consolidated for orientation in practical life. Bearing in mind that the historian is a professional who works on the margins and has the duty of memory as one of the centralpoints of his work, this project starts with an analysis of the Maranhão curriculum and historiography in order to identify and understand the Maranhão Reggae Experience (1940-2025). Based on this theoretical and historiographical discussion, the aim is to build an educational product, in this case a Virtual Museum, in order to be a didactic resource to guide the general public and history teachers about the Maranhão Reggae Experience, the basis for an Afro-diasporic and antiracist education.
