Abstract

CAVALCANTI, Erinaldo. The place of the Amazon in history textbooks in Brazil: about history, narrative and teaching. Humanidades [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.1, e49299. ISSN 2215-3934.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/h.v12i1.49299.

The article proposes to analyze how the Brazilian Amazon is represented in the history textbooks of the final years of elementary school, approved in the National Textbook Program (PNLD) 2020. For this, we selected 40 books published in 10 collections that offer their products and compete as options for the acquisition of textbooks that will be used by thousands of students, teachers and teachers working in the public education network. The analyzes show a narrative that represents the Amazon inhabited by people without a name, represented in a generalized way and associated with the time of the appearance of the first inhabitants in the Americas and the time of Portuguese colonization.

Keywords : History teaching; textbook; narrative; Amazon.
