摘要：In this article we propose to discuss multiculturalism and its relations with the educational
proposal related to the problems of a multicultural society. Considering the initial education of
teachers as an important space for the valorization of differences in the school space, we claim
that the University curricula must priorize the reflection of the future teachers-educators about
their identity, about the specific local knowledge and also about the way language can act as an
agent for silencing minor local cultures. In this way we try to understand the relations existing
among school knowledge, culture and language. We articulate the discussion about critical
multiculturalism related to teacher education and argue that an education multiculturally
oriented must be the result of a combination of pedagogical, political and cultural dimensions,
so that one can create conditions and tools for the future educators to act as reflexive
professionals, committed to make a rupture of monocultural practices present in everyday
school.
