PASCHE, Aline de Morais Limeira. A história da educação por Thomas Ransom Giles. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.03, pp.193-221. ISSN 2238-0094.

This study intends to compose a series of investments on the establishment and organization of the field of History of Education. It set out to analyze a particular writing experience, that of Ransom Giles Thomas (1937-2009) - an American by birth who settled in Brazil. The book History of Education was published by Pedagogical and University Publishers in 1987. It focused on analyzing enrolled resources, methodological operation, narrative models it legitimizes and with which it dialogues, as well as the representations about the Americas (Brazil and USA) the author circulates in his work. It is cogent to note the interest in conjecturing the different experiences involved in producing this knowledge, and in observing the echoes produced by the circulation of the works by this author.

Keywords : History of Education Textbooks; Historiography of Education; American Education; Brazilian Education; Education Systems.
