| Summary: | In 2003, Law 10.639 was passed, making teaching compulsory Afro-Brazilian and African culture and culture at all levels of education; but apparently, the inclusion of these themes in teaching occurs slowly. This study presents how the Law 10.639/03 is applied in the UFCAT’s Letters Degree courses, based on the analysis of the Pedagogical Project of the courses and the semiannual schedules of course offerings, over the last ten years. Although there is research about Afro-Brazilian and African culture in the Academic Unit, we conclude that its results are little applied in both degrees. Strategies are also presented for the law to be complied with, due to its mandatory nature and the need to fight prejudice and transform ethnic-racial relations, aiming to assist in teacher education of students, through discussions and critical reflections for a teaching focused on ethnic-racial relations. |
