Abstract

The present work intends to reflect on the possibilities of building an anti-racist education built from the ubuntu philosophy, considering the power of the ontology and epistemology of this philosophy for the process of building a subject aware of the importance of his ancestry and the insurmountable connection with the other, necessarily seen as an equal. In this way, the insertion of the contents of the ubuntu philosophy in the student's training process, in addition to implementing the legal determinations for the construction of a school curriculum that guarantees the teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian history, has the power to also enable the exercise of think from other philosophical paradigms, in this case ubuntu as an African philosophy, as a way of overcoming Eurocentric education and building an anti-racist education.
