The theme in question is justified by the need to meet and expand the studies and research involving the University Education Faculty of African Descent. The main aim was to investigate the Imaginary, Territories and Borders involving Teaching in University Teaching, in relation to Teaching, Research and Extension of these individuals, who experience a double place: Negro Lecturer and Researcher. The effectiveness of the proposed objectives in this research included the contributions of Bhabha (1998), Balandier (1997), Dubar (1997, 2005), Munanga (1988), Gomes (2010), Domingues (2007) in cultural studies; Bosi (1979, 1999) Meihy (2003), Josso (2010) in life stories; Ferry (1997), Vasconcelos (2000), Nóvoa (1995), and Tardiff (2002) in teacher training and studies conducted by the imaginary Castoriadis (1982, 1987, 1992, 2001, 2002, 2007), from two dimensions: social-historical and individual. Thus, this research seeks to understand, through introducing and instituting imaginary, the meanings constructed by black teachers about teaching in University Education. Thus, the data show the Teachers Knowledge and Process Training in the following categories: Schooling (Basic Education and Study and Work) Personal (Professional Choice, Family, Black Movement) and Experience (Educational Practice and Research Developed) that for coauthors were the main middleman instances of the discursive constitution of their professional identities process. In this study, I used qualitative research, descriptive nature, presenting as a case study representing a characteristic and peculiarity. In this sense, answers questions with realities that can not be quantified, because it works with a broad universe of meanings, motives, values and aspirations. For the study of the life history, which contains a complexity of experiences on different circumstances, used the methodology of oral history, from the aspect of Oral History of Life. The Oral History based on the record of events that occurred between the past and the present, or the past as renovated at present, a continuous process of new meanings phenomenon. In his reports, issues were revealed as: the instituting imaginary enlargement of the border zone of the condition of historical exclusion, schooling, and ethnic-racial issue as compared to preceding generations of black teachers.
