Afro-Peruvian Critical Perspectives of Intercultural Education Policy

Addressing the Paradoxes of a 'Mestizo' State

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on intercultural education, socio-cultural analysis, decolonization and critical pedagogy perspectives, this book unmasks central contradictions in the policy of intercultural education and explores the potential role that African and Afro-Peruvian thoughts may have in the reform of this policy. It uses counter-narratives to show how African presence in Peru has been erased from the official history and what socio-political consequences of this history Afro-Peruvians are currently experiencing. Then, it recovers philosophical, political, and sociological contributions from the Senegalese Leopold Sedar Senghor (1906-2001), and the Afro-Peruvians Nicomedes Santa Cruz Gamarra (1925-1992) and Jose Carlos Luciano Huapaya (1956-2002) for rethinking the Peruvian intercultural policies from decolonized, democratic, and global perspectives. Then, it displays exploratory, empirical, and qualitative results of a small pilot study about objections and counter-proposals to interculturaleducation policies of the Peruvian state addressed by Afro-Peruvian NGOs and schools.
