Which Africa?

This research, the result of a master's dissertation defended in 2017 at UDESC, has as its central theme to discuss the perspectives of teaching the history of the Africas from the Supervised Curricular Internships of the Undergraduate History course at UDESC, that is, from the initial training in History. The aim was to investigate the representations of the history of the Africas and people of African descent that are appropriated by students as interns in the Supervised Curricular Internship course. Taking Federal Law 10.639/2003 as a milestone, which made it compulsory to teach African and Afro-Brazilian history in schools, this research sought to understand the changes and continuities following the regulation of this law. In this context, this research contributes to thinking about the main clashes and obstacles that surround the experience of teaching the history of the Africas in basic education, observed from the teachers' practice in the initial training process and enabling the development and updating of new teaching and learning strategies on this subject, both at university and at school.
