Prácticas y saberes ancestrales en torno a la niñez en comunidades afrodescendientes negras y palenqueras de Bolívar y Sucre.

This paper addresses some practices,knowledge and actions about the way children are cared for, protected, educated and introduced to society in African descendant communities. Several elements are considered for the analysis: world view, spirituality, territory and nature in connection with cultural identity, oral tradition, own pedagogies and collective memory, such as evidence and reviews of other ways of thinking, teaching, learning, transmitting, and of recognizing others and themselves in ancestrally African descent cultural settings. A number of conceptions are used as referents to address the description of knowledge about the rearing practices of African, black and Palenque children, including conceptions about: culture, some approaches from the decolonial paradigm—mainly those related to other epistemes as forms of resistance to the coloniality of power, of knowledge, of being—, and also with respect to ancestral practices and knowledge through which the world view, traditions and conceptions are spread. The analyzed information corresponds to the memories and experiences of African descendant teachers who live and work in these communities, with whom we had a training session. This session served as a pretext to search the collective memory of the teachers for aspects regarding childhood/culture, from which a knowledge base about health, food, coexistence, and life and death rituals was derived.
