Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research that considers cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme, an issue that has been intensely discussed in recent times in Brazil, largely due to the implementation of new National Curriculum Parameters. This study examines the ways in which English as a Foreign Language teachers understand and address 'race'/ethnicity in education. The main argument of this book is that unless teachers understand issues surrounding 'race'/ethnicity, cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme in schools will not be adequately addressed. As the 'myth of racial democracy' still holds much power in Brazil it is important to understand the context in which teachers work. This research is largely qualitative and uses the framework of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to examine teachers' accounts and practices. The use of CRT as an analytical tool is important because it clearly demonstrates the way that injustice and inequality related to 'race' occur in Brazil. My findings indicate that dealing with issues of 'race'/ethnicity in schools requires more than legislation, the provision of curriculum materials and teachers' commitment issues of pedagogy are crucial. My research demonstrates that unless teachers' professional development in the area of cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme is put in place, issues around 'race'/ethnicity will continue to be inadequately addressed. Aparecida de Jesus Ferreira has a Ph.D. in Teacher Education, Institute of Education, University of London, (UK). She is currently a lecturer at the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, UEPG, Paraná (Brazil). She has experience in the field of Applied Linguistics, with emphasis on teacher education. Her research interests include: teacher education; teaching practice; teaching and learning of foreign languages; developing materials for language teaching; textbooks analysis; critical literacy and the construction of social identities (race relations).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the increasingly important and controversial subject of race relations in Brazil. North American scholars of race relations frequently turn to Brazil for comparisons, since its history has many key similarities to that of the United States. Brazilians have commonly compared themselves with North Americans, and have traditionally argued that race relations in Brazil are far more harmonious because the country encourages race mixture rather than formal or informal segregation. More recently, however, scholars have challenged this national myth, seeking to show that race relations are characterized by exclusion, not inclusion, and that fair-skinned Brazilians continue to be privileged and hold a disproportionate share of wealth and power. In this sociological and demographic study, Edward Telles seeks to understand the reality of race in Brazil and how well it squares with these traditional and revisionist views of race relations. He shows that both schools have it partly right--that there is far more miscegenation in Brazil than in the United States--but that exclusion remains a serious problem. He blends his demographic analysis with ethnographic fieldwork, history, and political theory to try to "understand" the enigma of Brazilian race relations--how inclusiveness can coexist with exclusiveness. The book also seeks to understand some of the political pathologies of buying too readily into unexamined ideas about race relations. In the end, Telles contends, the traditional myth that Brazil had harmonious race relations compared with the United States encouraged the government to do almost nothing to address its shortcomings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using affirmative action to decrease racial inequality is the latest chapter of a long tradition of comparing Brazil and the United States with regard to race. Confronting Affirmative Action in Brazil: University Quota Students and the Quest for Racial Justice is timely for both countries as they struggle with racial justice in higher education. This book responds to the United States’ dismantling of affirmative action programs and a belief that they have run their course. Data show that, while affirmative action policies have contributed to a significant increase in the representation of non-Whites in the U.S. middle class, other segments of the population have yet to take full advantage of such policies. In Brazil, this book engaged with the need to understand the first results of a public policy expected to promote major social change, as it represents the first time that country admitted the existence of racial inequality in its core and took measures toward combating it despite any subsequent controversy or dissent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the pioneering 2009 volume, Race, Culture, and Identities in Second Language Education, this book reflects the significant expansion in the research since its publication and offers a wider breadth of perspectives on the complex theoretical terrain of race, racism, and antiracism in language education. Contributors to this book apply a range of conceptual and methodological lenses to teaching diverse world languages. Underscoring the interconnectedness of race and colonialism, world language education, and intersectional ideologies, this book offers a forum for engaged dialogues among teachers, teacher educators, teacher candidates, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, curriculum developers, policymakers, and educational researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including language education. In covering important theoretical frames and constructs—including raciolinguistic and anti-oppressive pedagogies, decoloniality, neoliberalism, and reverse linguistic stereotyping—this book breaks from the Global North norms in applied linguistics and language instruction. An essential text in TESOL and world language education, this volume weaves meaningful connections among language education, language-in-education policy, and research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses an intersectional approach to analyze the impact of the experience of race on Afro-Brazilian political behavior in the cities of Salvador, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro. Using a theoretical framework that takes into account racial group attachment and the experience of racial discrimination, it seeks to explain Afro-Brazilian political behavior with a focus on affirmative action policy and Law 10.639 (requiring that African and Afro-Brazilian history be taught in schools). It fills an important gap in studies of Afro-Brazilian underrepresentation by using an intersectional framework to examine the perspectives of everyday citizens. The book will be an important reference for scholars and students interested in the issue of racial politics in Latin America and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Winner of the 2019 AAAL First Book Award* Racialized Identities in Second Language Learning: Speaking Blackness in Brazil provides a critical overview and original sociolinguistic analysis of the African American experience in second language learning. More broadly, this book introduces the idea of second language learning as "transformative socialization": how learners, instructors, and their communities shape new communicative selves as they collaboratively construct and negotiate race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and social class identities. Uju Anya’s study follows African American college students learning Portuguese in Afro-Brazilian communities, and their journeys in learning to do and speak blackness in Brazil. Video-recorded interactions, student journals, interviews, and writing assignments show how multiple intersecting identities are enacted and challenged in second language learning. Thematic, critical, and conversation analyses describe ways black Americans learn to speak their material, ideological, and symbolic selves in Portuguese and how linguistic action reproduces or resists power and inequity. The book addresses key questions on how learners can authentically and effectively participate in classrooms and target language communities to show that black students' racialized identities and investments in these communities greatly influence their success in second language learning and how successful others perceive them to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, education is one of the weakest spheres of the public sector in Brazil. However, those who suggest a return to Getlio Vargas's self-styled "social democracy" are misguided by the magnificent visions, impressive efforts to increase the State's cognitive capacity, and far-reaching social legislation of his era. Reconstructing the Brazilian Nation goes beyond the analysis of national debates and laws and explores the implementation of education policy from the national level to the regional, municipal, and individual school levels in two key states, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul. The book shows that Vargas's reforms were characterized by a technocratic modernization philosophy, a dualist concept of education, political indoctrination, and the aim of cultural and ethnic homogenization. Such a policy left little room for genuine inter-governmental co-operation and had no ear for critical educators and inspectors. Real progress was possible, but it resulted from remarkable gra

Book excerpt: Blackness Without Ethnicity draws on fifteen years of his research in Bahia, Rio Suriname, and Amsterdam. Sansone uses his findings to explore the very different ways that race and ethnicity are constructed in Brazil and the rest of Latin America. He compares these Latin American conceptions of race to dominate notions of race that are defined by a black-white polarity and clearly identifiable ethnicities, formulations he sees as highly influenced by the US and to a lesser degree Western Europe. Sansone argues that understanding more complex and ambiguous notions of culture and identity will expand the international discourse on race and move it away from American dominated notions that are not adequate to describe racial difference in other countries (and also in the countries where the notions originated). He also explores the effects of globalization on constructions of race.

Book excerpt: Affirmative action was employed in 2002 to increase access to the elite system of Brazilian higher education. This policy, deemed constitutional by Brazil's Supreme Court in 2012, supports the use of reserved spaces for underrepresented students based on race, ethnicity, class, ability, public school attendance, and for children of officers killed in the line of duty. The race-based quota system has allowed more Black students to attend quality universities, however, at what expense? Race continues to be a complex issue in Brazil where more than half of its citizens identify as non-White. As a result, this complicates understandings of race in general and who should benefit from quotas in particular. Using a critical ethnographic design, this study examines how self identified Black university students negotiate race, their status as quota students, and other identities under a policy mandated to ensure opportunity on one hand, within institutional environments that restrict opportunity on the other. Conceptually grounded in critical race theory and intersectionality, this research centers race as a unit of analysis that when compounded by the existence of other identities, creates particular outcomes and experiences in educational spaces. Findings from interviews, observations, and critical discourse analysis reveal that Black students proactively manage their identities despite institutional challenges. Although Brazil provides the setting for this dissertation, it serves as one case in the larger global context of addressing the complex relationship between universities, underrepresented students, and policies that sometimes miss the mark when confronting issues of equity.
