GATTI JUNIOR, Décio  and  GATTI, Giseli Cristina do Vale. Brazilian textbooks and ideas on human rights, peace and pacifism (1940-2000). Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2015, vol.52, n.38, pp.218-242. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5965/1981180252382015218.

The purpose of this article is to discern the pacifist values contained in Brazilian textbooks from 1940 to 2000. According to Chervel (1990), these books have an educational aim. Works were analyzed concerning general history, history of Brazil, moral and civic education, and social and political organization of Brazil (SPOB). It was observed that from 1940 to 1970, a liberal ideology joined christian moral training. In the 1980s, there were original initiatives in the school subject of SPOB. In the 1990s and 2000s, in spite of greater adherence to the doctrine of human rights and education for peace, there was weakening of the theme in textbooks.

Keywords : School textbooks; Human rights; Education for peace.
