The dissertation also analyzes the transformation of the Black Movement discourse from the late 70's, its actions and influences to prepare the text of Federal Constituition/88 and also, and to prepare the affirmative action policies. From this, are discussed discusses the relations between family and school socialization, working the issue of school curricula and the proposal of a problem-based perspective of identity and difference, as well as the intersections involving school and family. The dissertation also discusses the debate on the issue of identity and postcolonial studies, emphasizing the work of Stuart Hall, and highlighting some diasporic aspects of Afro-Brazilian culture. This discussion serves as the basis for the analysis of empirical data, which were obtained through interviews with parents. The research, based on a qualitative approach, aims to understand the importance given by black families to school content established by Law 10,639/03, and the tensions arising from different perspectives between families and schools.

Finally, the text discusses the culture from a central position to the current context of the fight against racism, understood as nuclear in the contemporary political debate and guided by transnational contexts of action.
