This article addresses the need for debates about black culture and racism in school and aims at providing an example of how literature can consistently contribute to this. The paper is divided into three parts. The first one approaches the long road of interdictions to which the Negro was subjected in his history, such as the attempt to impose a false racial democracy, the economic and social fragilization, the attempt to erase history through assimilation and whitening. But it also reflects on the various forms of resistance to this suffering, which includes the preservation of immaterial culture. In the second part, literature and its capacity to expose reality are taken to reflect about an aspect that can, within the school, lead to an awareness of racism and a situation conducive to identification with the other, creating conditions for diversity and for inclusive education. In the third part, a literary work is analyzed specifically – O mulato, by Aluísio Azevedo – as an example of a discussion that needs to be done in school in order to highlight and fight against racism that has been going on for a long time in Brazilian history and has roots in multiple areas.

Palabras clave : Racism; literature; curriculum.
