SUMMARY:

Brazil is a country made up of a mostly black population. As far as education is concerned, Eurocentric teaching predominates, making invisible the other cultural matrices that characterize us as a Brazilian people. Law 10.639/03 was passed to change this situation, so that our students know our origins and feel they belong to the people and to history. However, in Santa Catarina, we have seen a rise in cases of racial slurs and neo-Nazi cells, which leads us to ask whether students have appropriated the content recommended in Law 10.639/03. The aim of this research is to analyze the knowledge produced about Law 10.639/03 by 3rd year high school students from state schools in Camboriú, in order to understand how they can become instruments for social transformation and overcoming racism. The state schools in the municipality of Camboriú are the empirical field of this research. The subjects chosen were students in the third year of secondary school, as they had access to all the content proposed in the Curriculum Guidelines, including the history of Africa and Afro-Brazilian culture. For data collection, we used questionnaires structured in thematic blocks with questions based on the National Curriculum Guidelines for Education on Ethnic-Racial Relations and Teaching Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture. From a theoretical-methodological point of view, this research is based on the theoretical-methodological approach of historical-dialectical materialism, as it understands that reality is in constant development and transformation and that the object is constituted from multiple determinations. We therefore start from the hypothesis that Afro-Brazilian culture in the region has been made invisible by European heritage and tradition. Furthermore, the lack of discussion in academia and consequently in schools may reflect the constant racist and neo-Nazi practices in our state. Overall, this research shows that although the students have limited knowledge of the content, the vast majority are open to learning about it and understand that the subject is relevant. In addition, the students understand that it is everyone's responsibility to combat racism, and that quotas are extremely important for redressing the injustices suffered by the black population in Brazil. The school plays an important role in overcoming racism, but it should not be solely responsible for this.
