Resumo

Neste diálogo, gostaria de oferecer ao leitor, uma introdução ao programa etnomatemática.  O que é, de onde vem, sobre o que se preocupa, e o mais importante, qual é a agenda deste programa para o século 21.  Assim, elaborei uma entrevista com Ubiratan D’Ambrosio para discutir assuntos importantes relacionados com o programa etnomatemática.  Espero que os temas discutidos nesta entrevista sejam uma adição importante ao crescente debate que envolve a etnomatemática.

Abstract

In this dialogue, I would like to offer to the reader an introduction to ethnomathematics. What it is, where it comes from, what it worries about, and most importantly, what is its agenda for the 21stcentury.  In doing so, I generated an interview with Ubiratan D’Ambrosio that discusses important issues related to the ethnomathematics as a program.  It is hoped that the themes discussed in this interview will add to the growing dialogue that surrounds ethnomathematics.
