SA, Ana Paula dos Santos de. FOR AN ANTIRACIST SCHOOL CANON IN HIGH SCHOOL: A LOOK AT PORTUGUESE TEXTBOOKS. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.26, e260092.  Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782021260092.

This article aimed to analyze didactic-pedagogical proposals of Portuguese textbooks that suggest ways to reach an antiracist education in Brazilian high school, with attention to the teaching of Afro-Brazilian literature. From a discussion about the need for decolonization of the school canon, it analyzes collections approved by National Textbook Plan (Programa Nacional do Livro Didático - PNLD) 2015 that articulate the afro-descendant poet Luiz Gama to the condoreirismo. Based on a qualitative investigation of this issue, we highlight the points that seem to converge and/or diverge from an antiracist teaching perspective. It is concluded that the chapters investigated dialogue with that perspective, especially because they include contemporary Afro-Brazilians authors and positive texts about African ancestry and blackness, alongside the poetry of Gama.

Keywords : Law 10.639/2003; teaching literature; textbook; racism.
