This article which is a theoretical essay aims to tension Africa and its diaspora as a producer of powers and possibilities in the constitution of social forms going against the Brazilian Nation-State project from the educational scope that stimulate racism in order to consider proposals such as Afrocentricity to contribute to anti-racist education. The motivation arises through the different social forms that manifest themselves in Brazilian society, thus emerging in a direction towards the extermination of the black population. Through the expositions of this article, the organization of the text will be explored in three sessions: Africa as a revitalizing form; Drives of social forms in Brazilian education; A revitalizing educational proposal: Afrocentricity in the spotlight. In times of insurgency in the practices of existence of the “lived world”, in which a racist drive is increasingly mischaracterized on the objective level and allocated on the subjective level in the face of society or the economic-political system, producing epistemologies that go in other directions, combining Education (without mischaracterizing other loci) becomes vital for the existential continuity of the Brazilian black population.
