Abstract

This work deals with the importance of decolonizing the curriculum in basic schools as an effective form of inclusion, both public and private and, by extension, in universities as determined by laws 10.639 / 03 and 11.645 / 08. The objective is to propose and analyze the construction of the curriculum in the Eurocentric mold. To carry out the research, a literature review was carried out, in which we spoke especially with Fausto Antonio (2015) and Nilma Gomes (2012). The results show that Eurocentrism and the concept of epistemicide aim at invisibilization and the inferiorization of another non-Western knowledge. Equally, Eurocentrism highlights its cultural values and, consequently, establishes a kind of model, that is, a pattern that makes other people’s knowledge production systems unfeasible and compromised.
