O impacto da diversidade cultural na agenda política educacional brasileira: uma avaliação das demandas sociais

The debate in favor of recognizing Brazilian cultural diversity has been intensifying over the last few decades, through successive struggles by identity-based social movements. Data presented by IBGE in 2022 show that public policies to recognize cultural diversity are still not sufficient. The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact of this discourse on the agenda of Brazilian educational policies. The adopted procedure consisted of bibliographicresearch organized into three stages. The struggles of identity-based social movements influenced by the theories of Multiculturalism, Cultural Studies and Black Studies contributed to the centrality of the cultural diversity themeon the international agenda, subsequently impacting the national educational policy agenda through a non-linear process of advances and setbacks. It is concluded that policies for cultural diversity need to be enhanced, with theparticipation of historically marginalized social groups in deliberative and public policy management instances.
