Resumo

This article analyzes public politics for Early Childhood Education in municipality of Nova Iguaçu-RJ considering Historical-Critical Pedagogy to understand contradictions between democratic discourse post-redemocratization and persistence of Brazilian State’s structural dependency on international agendas. Based on a materialist historical-dialectical method, the study analyzes documents such as Municipal Plan for Primary Childhood (2014), Municipal Education Plan (2015-2025), Law Nº 4.749/2018 and the Early Childhood Education Curricular Propose (2021), emphasizing how theses texts incorporate conceptions from multilateral organisms, as UNICEF (United Nations Agency for Children) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). The analysis reveals that, despite formal advances of the redemocratization and recognition of Early Childhood Education as a right, politics remain guided a rational technocratic and neoliberal, instead of integral human education. Therefore, contradictions between democratization and dependency describes the incomplete character of the Brazilian redemocratization and the education rights whose effectuation require a praxis commuted with social reality transformation. In this context, the historical-critical pedagogy reaffirms itself as a theoretical and political horizon capable of guiding efforts for public, free and emancipatory Early Childhood Education, articulating theory, practice, and teaching resistance to humanize and emancipate the working classes.
