# Conclusions and recommendations  
Bearing in mind that analytical constructions and speculations are, by nature, inexhaustive, we can conclude and recommend what follows below.  
The strategy of misinforming the Brazilian population with regard to the African continent is an obstacle to a real perspective of racial democracy. We must not lose sight of the fact that one of the main obstacles to the inclusion of the Afrodescendant population in Brazilian society is the inferior position in which the education system has placed Afro-Brazilians. This situation will be able to change only if a more aggressive educational policy is adopted and the focus is directed towards demystifying the African continent for the Brazilian population. This is a structural point in a process of change aimed at enabling Brazilians of African descent to be genuinely better respected within the dominant system. Misinformation remains a large part of the problem; the position of Africa, generally one of the last continents to be tackled by schools and official compendia, needs to be changed in industry and, above all, by teachers in the classroom.
