História e protagonismo negro: africanidade, cultura histórica e ensino de história na trajetória de Abdias Nascimento (1944-1999)

Abstract

The work aims to study how the black population has developed a new epistemological perspective guided by the black African historical experience, from the encounter between historical knowledge and socio-cultural activism, in contrast to the production of knowledge and the teaching of Eurocentric history. Therefore, the research was developed from the analysis of the protagonism of Abdias Nascimento, based on what we call abdisian moments: the blackness pedagogy (1944-1968), the pan-Africanist quilombism (1968-1983) and the parliamentary quilombism (1983-1999). The documentary research corpus is based on his theatrical, intellectual and political production around the national and international anti-racist struggles in the XX century (1944-1999). The protagonism of Abdias Nascimento helped the systematization and coordination between the historical process and the historical acts, where the black population took, at the same time, the role of producing, transmitting and receiving historical knowledge, which was set in a dialectical and dialogical way during his anti-racist social praxis, generated and based on the historical culture of black African resistance.
