Nos meandros do (re)conhecimento: a temática indígena em livros didáticos de História no contexto de implementação da Lei 11.645/08 (2008-2014)

Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the discussions on the indigenous theme in History Teaching, through the analysis of the repercussions of Law 11.645/08 on textbooks. To do this, it takes as object of study two didactic collections, History: Society & Citizenship and Araribá Project: History, in its editions distributed by the Textbook National Program, before and after the promulgation of this Law. Analyzing at what moments and in what ways indigenous peoples gain visibility in these editions, both in texts and in images, discusses the strategies used by each collection to contemplate the legal demand and outlines the possibilities and limits of changes. To discuss the representations built on the indigenous, it proposes categories of analysis for the texts and images conveyed by the collections. It concludes that the Law had significant repercussions in both collections, which began to give greater visibility to the indigenous in their narratives, in different contexts of national history. However, the forms like these are represented have undergone less significant changes. There remains a superficial approach in the treatment of cultural diversity and silencing of the historical experiences of the different originaries peoples in Brazil.
