1 GEOPOLITICS AFRICA - AMERICA BRAZIL DIASPORA. CENTURIES XV - XVI - XVII - XVIII XIX CARTOGRAPHY FOR EDUCATION AFRO-BRAZILIAN EDUCATION AND MAPPING OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Establish and recognize other educational prospects for an understanding of traffic, slavery and the African Diaspora as forming elements of the configuration of the contemporary world, theses, constitute the basics conjecture to draw a better context of the role of african cultures in the formation of the territory and the brazilian people. We can not forget that among the main obstacles to the performance of the population of

2 African origin in our society, it highlights the inferiority of this at school, and the root of this inequality was in preschool. First, are the textbooks that ignore the afro-brazilian and African peoples as active agents of geographical and historical formation of Brazil. Then, the school has functioned as a kind of informal segregated. The ideology behind the practice of concealing and distorting of the afro-brazilian aims not provide relevant models that will help build a positive self-image, nor give their true reference to territoriality and its history here, and especially in Africa. The Educational Thematic Map: Geopolitics of Diaspora Africa - America - Brazil. Centuries XV - XVI - XVII - XVIII - XIX, seeks bring elements to collaborate in the construction of another population of African origin territoriality in Brazil, from "educational tools" where the teachers of different formal education levels can able alter their practices in transmission of the contents of Geography and History, especially. The cartographic document is authored by the Geographer Raphael Araújo dos Anjos, Associate Professor in the Geography Department at University of Brasilia, Coordinator in Project Afro-Brazilian Geography: Education & Territory Planning and Director of Center for Applied Cartography and Geographic Information of this University. The research was realized from product set of studies about territories with references of Africa in Brazil and into a Post-Doctoral Program(MRAC, Tervuren, Belgium) in public archives of public institutions in Lisbon (Portugal), Brussels ( Belgium), Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Luanda (Angola), Paris (France) Abidjan (Ivory Coast) and Havana (Cuba), brought referrals cartographic representations that contribute significantly to the explanation of spatial contexts geopolitical moved for four centuries the evolution of global capitalism and marked and mark a significant structuring of territories and populations with references, and survival of the African reinventions. The map is an issue in educational partnership with Maps Publishing & Consulting Ltd., CIGA - UNB and Geography and Afro-Brazilian Project: Education & Territorial Planning. CONTENT OF EDUCATIONAL THEME MAP IMPRINT The cartographic product arranged to reconstruct spatially the major components of the global dynamics of the slave system, which caused human migration and cultural and territorial transformations in deep "Known world" until the fifteenth century, is composed of 25 (twenty five) elements in its colored label (with linear, point and zone information). The topics treated are: the large ethnic units of African peoples; the

3 secular direction of the main flows of the African Diaspora to various parts of the World, especially America (New World); references of the main ports and cities that were structured and enriched with the "traffic slave", the movements of tropical products and other goods involved in implementing the "brutal and primitive capitalism"; spaces extensions of the large forced importation of African populations; large quilombola organizations and the places with registered social movements against the dominant oppressive system over four centuries. The thematic map also references the spatial movements of parcels of African human beings and their ascendants who returned to African continent after the abolition of slavery in the colonial states in America, so-called "returnees". We used in the representation of the world map a panchromatic satellite image on the adapted Arno Peters cartographic projection (it enables the maintenance of the proportions of actual emerged lands), thus avoiding significant distortions in the continent and a distorted understanding of the relationships of the actors and agents in geopolitical relations. Due to the temporal spectrum of the educational map its toponymy references to different historical moments, fact that allows a historiographical context in the geopolitical cartography of the secular Africa America Brazil displacements. The colored cartographic product in a large format, printed in a high quality paper and ISBN: , has limited edition (large quantities only by orders). Price Release: R$ 100,00 (One hundred Reals).
