Abstract

This review is a critical summary of the academic article Ethno-education as a political and identity position of the Afro-Ecuadorian people, by Rocío Vera Santos. A scientific text that elucidates through a qualitative investigation and a postcolonial and decolonial theoretical setting the process of consolidation and execution of theAfro-Ecuadorian ethno-education project. It is a political, epistemological and educational project that has been developing in the last three decades, and with which the Afro-Ecuadorian social movement takes possession in front of the State; trying to subvert the legacy of colonization, through strategies, pedagogical practices and autonomous initiatives that revitalize and rescue ancestral knowledge, memory and oral tradition. The objective of this ethnic education proposal seeks to strengthen identity, historical reparation and sustain the anti-racist struggle.
