RIBEIRO, Renilson Rosa. Letras negras, páginas brancas: as imagens do negro entre a historiografia e o ensino de história (Brasil, segunda metade do século XX). ETD [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.02, pp.281-299. ISSN 1676-2592.

The debate about the images of black people history in textbooks produced in Brazil in the second half of the twentieth century brings us to the analysis of key historiographical interpretations developed over slavery in the same period. These historiographical approaches, one way or another, have influenced the reading of the authors of textbooks in the field of history in regard to this issue. In this sense, this paper will address the representations of black people wrought by historical discourse from dialogue with the academic knowledge of history and during school. Throughout this essay we will present the two arrays interpretive recurring - Gilberto Freyre ("racial democracy") and Florestan Fernandes ("denouncing violence of slavery and racism") - on the subject of slavery and black people, trying to establish their difference, points of confrontation and the ramifications of his theses on history teaching.

Keywords : Negro; Historiography; Teaching History; Textbooks; Brazil History.
