Os estudos sobre educação e relações étnico-raciais no norte do Brasil : um campo em formação?

Abstract

This research intends to characterize studies on education and ethnic-racial relations in the North region of the country, which is marked by the diversity of customs and cultures that involves its population composition (whites, blacks and indigenous). Therefore, we assume that the recognized presence of indigenous and quilombola communities in the northern region of the country, social and population devaluation, and studies on ethnic-racial relations produced in that region are academically devalued. This factor instigates reflection on: what are the studies on Education and Ethnic-racial relations in the North? The research aims to analyze if there are and what are the specificities of the studies on Education and Ethnic-racial relations in the North of the country, having as a source of information the productions / publications (available online) of researchers of the region. The data available in this study were collected through the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE); Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDBTD); Directory of Research Groups in Brazil (CNPq); pages of institutions and Google scholar. The study is divided into three parts: in the first part we make a brief and historical characterization of the Northern region. In the second part, we bring the survey with data of the researchers, as well as their studies developed in and about the region. In the third and last part, we performed an analysis based on the performance characteristics of the nuclei and groups - NEAB, NEABI and related groups.
