The critical interculturality of Pipipã in dialogue with the Ayllu school

Abstract

In this article we propose a reflection on the experiences of emancipatory indigenous school education in Latin America as an alternative to confront the homogeneous knowledge produced in Europe, the "global north" of the capitalist/patriarchal/modern/colonial world-world system. From the theoretical perspective of postcolonial studies we study how the praxis of critical intercultural education and the "epistemic insurgency occurs, in a context of struggles and resistance stems from the peoples of the epistemic territory of Abya Yala. Our goal is to dialogue the contemporary indigenous education of the Pipipã people, located in Floresta, in the Sertão of Pernambuco with the discussions of the pedagogical thought of the Warisata school, conceived by Elizardo Perez (Bolivia). The results are based on the materialization of epistemic disobedience in the search for intercultural education as a form of resistance of colonially named Latin American peoples. Nations that question narrative goals constructed as truths, in the face of cultural ethnic autonomy, each in its time and place.
