ABSTRACT
The initiative of the American Education Research Association (AERA) Commission on Research in Black Education (CORIBE) to call together senior researchers and graduate students of African descent in order to identify priorities in Black education research, teaching, and militant activities, is very relevant not only for African Americans but also for Black people all over the world. This chapters show clearly that we, Black people, are still on the road to freedom. So the work of these scholars can empower the African community and strengthen the argument that it is from our African ethos, from our history on the continent, and in the Diaspora that we can present for the world our propositions for peace and happiness for all human beings. The chapter addresses specific aspects of these preceding chapters in comparison with the social and cultural situation of Afro Brazilians and with research and pedagogical issues for and related to Black people in Brazil.
