In today’s globalized world, a combination of theoretical perspectives becomes urgent, desirable and possible in order to be able to see the “colonial” that is often impregnated in the conceptions and social practice of language, as well as to be able to transcend this same “colonial” that still remains in negative actions and thoughts related to the languages that emerged in the era of the great navigations, as evils of coloniality. In the direction of decoloniality, then, scientific linguistic, literary, anthropological and educational studies can contribute greatly to paving the way for conscious and critical resistance, positive and proactive linguistic and political attitudes to deconstruct concepts, patterns and perspectives imposed on the genesis of languages such as Fon, Cape Verdean, São Toméan, Palenquero and Brazilian Portuguese, among others. Thus, this panel is intended to bring together linguistic, literary, anthropological and educational studies related to multilingualism, multiculturalism, critical interculturalism, bilingualism, diglossia, language policies, language rights, ethnic-racial relations and education in countries of African descent, decolonial pedagogy, sociolinguistic awareness, identity strengthening, linguistic self-esteem, social cohesion through language, official languages and majority languages, minority or minoritized languages, officialization, standardization, linguistic prejudice and respect, culturally sensitive education, second language acquisition by foreigners, heritage languages, immigration languages, language production and perception, school success and dropout, continuing education, ethnicity, ancestry, identity, mobility, diaspora, interaction of social groups, institutional actions, social reception, positive social policies, among other topics. In the search for current answers to the dilemma of decoloniality, then, this panel will function as a condensing pole of proposals and answers given by diverse studies of African and Afro-descendant languages, located in different parts of the globe, from different theoretical perspectives, aimed at reflection, awareness and the taking of positive positions and attitudes for the conscious erasure of remnants of the old era and the spreading of light in the scenario of decoloniality.
