VEIGA, CYNTHIA GREIVE. ORGANIZATION OF THE NATION AND MONOPOLIZATION OF EDUCATION BY THE STATE: CULTURAL HOMOGENEITY AND SOCIO-RACIAL EXCLUSION (BRAZIL, 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES). Rev. Comunic [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.3, pp.171-189. ISSN 2238-121X.  https://doi.org/10.15600/2238-121X/comunicacoes.v24n3p171-189.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the monopolization of education by the state and the imposition of cultural homogeneity through the institutionalization of public and compulsory schools, as part of the process of nation state organization, highlighting the history of Brazilian education in the nineteenth century and beginning of the 20th century. For this, documents such as: government reports, newspapers and magazines were discussed, in the light of the sociological theories of Norbert Elias and Anibal Quijano. These authors analyze, with differentiated emphases, the monopolizing dynamics of European modernity that have imposed themselves in the Americas, the changes in relations between governors and governed, and the socio-racial tensions in the process of the organization of nations. The study points to paradoxes in the process of establishing a compulsory public school, since actions aimed at culturally homogenizing populations have contributed to the emergence of new mechanisms of socio-racial exclusion.

Keywords : STATE MONOPOLIZATION; COMPULSORY SCHOOL; NATION; EXCLUSION; SOCIAL CLASS; ETHNICITY.
