Relações étnico-raciais e ensino de história no brasil: o negro no saber historiografico e saber histórico escolar

Abstract

This study aims to investigate Ethnic-Racial Relations in the context of historiographic knowledge and school history knowledge in the teaching of History. To this end, we seek to identify the Ethnic-Racial Relations that have historically been demarcated by contexts of invisibility, especially when related to African and Afro-Brazilian historiography. The discussions about the images of the Negro in the knowledge produced in Brazilian historiography leads us to the analysis of the main interpretations and historiographic debates developed about the mistaken observations about the Negro in Brazil. The research presents a qualitative approach with the application of bibliographic research. The results reveal that it is necessary to establish a teaching of History that shows an education for Ethnic-Racial Relations showing the History of Brazil as a multiracial and multi-ethnic society through the reversion of values and concepts centered in a Eurocentric perspective that puts black people at margin of the historical and cultural construction of Brazil. We conclude that since history teaching became a school subject in Brazil, its structural focus has been modeled according to a certain historical moment, making blacks invisible in the country's cultural formation for many years.
