In this thesis we discuss the necessity of a deepening which reflects and points out ways about the insertion and the processing of the knowledge produced about the culture from African basis through the educational systems of the Cariri region in the state of Ceará; we took the cultural universe of the students as an important element in the reaffirmation of their identities and for the learning of the culture. The study place is the municipality of Milagres where we have found a group of Congos in activity. The Master Doca Zacarias coordinates this manifestation maintaining alive the devotion to Nossa Senhora do Rosário as an important part of the teachings received from their ancestors. The study proposes to comprehend the manifestation of the culture from African basis searching to promote a discussion about the inclusive urgency of afro history and culture in the curriculum of basic education in the local schools, in order to constructing a pedagogy committed to the strengthening of the identity and combating the racism and the prejudice which strikes children and young negro people. Therein, the transposition of that culture to the formal education constitutes the principal concern of this work. We present possibilities of dimensioning pedagogic practices of educators who act in the basic education in the Cariri region in the state of Ceará from this cultural expression of African basis. The methodology utilized took as basis the narratives which occurred through the individual and collective memory of the social actors belonging to this universe which retreat the history of a community which has maintained itself alive along the generations, besides permitting a reorganization of the negro presence in the state of Ceará. During the accomplishment of the research photographic registers and recordings have been made of three cultural-artistic events where the group was the main attraction. The study of the African aspects of the Cariri region has unveiled unknown histories of a great part of the local educators, yet they still carry significant elements for the comprehension of the historical-cultural context in which it is inserted and, because of that, they are important components for the formation of children and young negro people and non-negro ones who attend the schools of the region.
