Abstract

This article aims to question the Brazilian educational public policy at the interface with the identity category. From the understanding of how the government built or disregarded education throughout our history, we intend to discuss the current educational situation in Brazil and the possibilities of identities formation in emancipation. The bibliographic research revealed that the educational project, built along the Brazilian history, has supported educational institution as a mediator of identity politics that prioritizes colonization at the detriment of emancipation. The current century started with new educational policies composed by teaching projects deficient in mobilizing transformative actions, to the extent that the purposes are extrinsic and fed back by a network involving government development strategies such as mass media, international agencies, and the market economy.
