Ensino de história da África e cultura afro-brasileira: a lei 10.639 e a construção de novas representações

Abstract

In Brazil, coloniality imposed an erasure or silencing of enslaved groups. Thus, the place of Afro-Brazilians in the historical narrative about Republican Brazil is constituted as the object of research. The objective is to discuss to what extent the historiographical production, related to the republican period in Brazil, promoted black protagonism, especially in the production of material aimed at basic education, aiming at an anti-racist education. This research is justified by examining the didactic approaches constructed and the purposes attributed to the activities proposed in History textbooks about the republican period in the construction of the social place of black people in Brazil. The evaluations will be developed from an exploratory perspective of a qualitative nature through the analysis of the content of the textbook, documentary analysis that deals with the teaching of History and bibliographical review. The theoretical references intend to outline reflections on issues related to memory and teaching of History, the identity constructed in the school space, historical consciousness and representation. This dissertation has as an educational product a didactic sequence that suggests to teachers how to include black experiences in the content selected by textbooks; present the History of Africa and Afro-Brazilians from the decolonial reference and activities that promote debate, understanding and mechanisms to combat racism.
