This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies brought together in this volume show how this research program is applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have generated different forms of mathematical practice. These stud...
In this book, Ubiratan D’Ambrosio presents his most recent thoughts on ethnomathematics—a sub-field of mathematics history and mathematics education for which he is widely recognized to be one of the founding fathers. In a clear, concise format, he outlines the aim of the Program Ethnomathematics, which is to understand mathematical knowing/doing throughout history, within the context of different groups, communities, peoples and nations, focusing on the cycle of mathematical knowledge: its generation, its intellectual and social organization, and its diffusion. While not rejecting the importance of modern academic mathematics, it is viewed as but one among many existing ethnomathematics. Offering concrete examples and ideas for mathematics teachers and researchers, D’Ambrosio makes an eloquent appeal for an entirely new approach to conceptualizing mathematics knowledge and education that embraces diversity and addresses the urgent need to provide youth with the necessary tools to become ethical, creative, critical individuals prepared to participate in the emerging planetary society.
Arab-Brazilian relations have been largely invisible to area studies and Comparative Literature scholarship. Arab Brazil is the first book of its kind to highlight the representation of Arab and Muslim immigrants in Brazilian literature and popular culture since the early twentieth century, revealing anxieties and contradictions in the country's ideologies of national identity. Author Waïl S. Hassan analyzes these representations in a century of Brazilian novels, short stories, and telenovelas. He shows how the Arab East works paradoxically as a site of otherness (different language, culture, and religion) and solidarity (cultural, historical, demographic, and geopolitical ties). Hassan explores the differences between colonial Orientalism's binary structure of Self/Other, East/West, and colonizer/colonized, on the one hand; and on the other hand Brazilian Orientalism's tertiary structure, which defines the country's identity in relation to both North and East.
This edited volume is written in memoriam of Professor Emeritus Ubiratan D’Ambrosio (1932 – 2021), who was a well-known Brazilian mathematics educator and historian of mathematics. This book explores the diverse facets of D’Ambrosio’s work as well as his legacy and the later adaptation of his ideas around the globe. It starts with a preface written by his son, Alexandre D' Ambrosio, who shares his personal experiences growing up with this father and his love for discovery. The book is then divided into four sections: Past and Future: Ubi’s Way of Seeing Education in the Present Roots of Ethnomathematics Ethnomathematics in Action Trends in Ethnomathematics It features diverse point...
Nos últimos anos, as políticas educacionais brasileiras foram influenciadas pelos ideais neoliberais e que reverberaram no campo da formação de professores, definindo novas diretrizes sobre a profissão e o trabalho docente de acordo com o campo educacional e as exigências do capital. A obra propõe a reflexão do processo formativo dos professores envolvidos neste sistema educativo, objetivando uma formação que possibilite a construção de uma outra perspectiva.
Neste livro são abordados aspectos da cultura e da educação escolar indígena de algumas etnias brasileiras, na visão de alguns pesquisadores, professores indígenas, lideranças e membros de comunidades indígenas. São apresentados resultados de investigações realizadas com a etnia Wajãpi, em Pedra Branca do Amapari no estado do Amapá; com o povo Rikbaktsa no estado de Mato Grosso; com os Guarani e Kaiowá no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul; com a etnia Mebêngôkre ou Kaiapó, do sudeste do Pará; com povos indígenas do Oiapoque; com os Sateré-Mawé do Rio Marau, município de Maués, estado do Amazonas; e com os Paiter Suruí de Rondônia. O foco é a relação da educação indí...

This book presents, for the first time in English, the state of the art of Mathematics Education research in Brazil, a country that has the strongest community in this field in Latin America. Edited by leading researchers in the area, the volume provides the international academic community a summary of the scientific production of the thirteen working groups of the Brazilian Society of Mathematics Education (SBEM), the national scientific society that brings together researchers, teachers, students and other professionals of the area. These working groups meet every three years at the International Seminar of Mathematics Education (SIPEM) and cover the following topics: Mathematics Educatio...
