Abstract

This dissertation has as its scope the analysis of the Portuguese Language textbook for the 9th year of Elementary School at Escola Quilombola Santo André, the locus of the research also emphasizes racial relations in the textbook in question, we have Law 10.639/2003 and Law 11. 645/2008 to further support this research. We used as a source of bibliographical research the authors Coelho; Coelho (2008), Stuart Hall (2003), Circe Bittencourt (2012), Munanga (2005), Cavalheiro (2000), among others with the aim of giving more scientific sustainability to this study. Likewise, we used documents in the research, such as: the National Textbook Plan (PNLD), National Curricular Parameters (PCN's), the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB), the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the National Curricular Guidelines for the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations (DCNERER). The main objective is to analyze the Portuguese Language textbook for the 9th year of Elementary School and the representations of black people in this book, addressing the concept of whitening ideology and the myth of racial democracy. The methodology was based on an image analysis of the textbook, documentary research and participant research, which according to Severino (2017), is one of the best approaches for this type of research. It was noticed that there is a disparity regarding the representations of the black figure with white people being represented most of the time as an ideal family and black people as a minority and worthy of pity. The textbook analyzed superficially represented the figure of black people and a great absence of images that emphasize AfroBrazilian and African history and culture as well as indigenous people.
