IDENTITY AND RESISTANCE IN THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGES AND REALITIES OF THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

The value of identity through history and African heritage considering historical culture, Afro-Colombian collection, and resistance must allow for Afro-recognition from diverse life experiences. This is a deeply felt need within the educational community of the IE Juan Pablo II. For this reason, this essay aims to highlight the importance of history and African heritage in social environments and, even more so, in educational spaces. Through cultural legacy, Afro-identity and resistance must be built based on the community's ways of life to strengthen the social structure in the 21st century. This research article is qualitative, as it focuses on the interpretation of discourses, stories, and historical processes through document analysis and the narrative interpretations of educational actors. The analysis of this topic invites reflection and shows, as a result, the relevance and role that education plays in the social system. It focuses on ensuring that students not only value their constructive heritage but also develop Afro-self-recognition from their life practices and experiences, which allow for the formation of every human being as reflected in the community to which they belong.
