A construção da imagem do “índio” no livro didático de História do ensino médio: desafios e avanços a partir da Lei 11.645/2008.

Abstract

Textbooks are indispensable methodological resources in the teaching-learning process. The daily contact of the student with this source of study and research is one of the factors that stimulate us to reflect on the forms that certain contents were and/or are applied in the classroom. This study analyzes the History`s textbook of High School, highlighting how the texts deal with the construction and representation of the "Indian" and how this concept has been questioned and modified in the textbook since the implementation of the brazlian law 11.645/2008, that made it mandatory for schools the discussion about the history and culture of indigenous peoples.
