Role of law 10,639 in the formation of historical consciousness in basic education students:

the impact of the invisibilization of the Mbundu people of Angola in elementary school textbooks

Abstract

This article analyzes the role of law 10,639 and the invisibilization of the legacies of the Mbundu people in Elementary School History books, through the formation of students' historical awareness, focusing on those who represent the African Black Diaspora in Brazilian society, due to the fact of being the most affected by the impact of social self-amnesia, due to the lack of knowledge of their ancestral past. And at the same time, it problematizes the partiality on the part of the National Common Curricular Base in the weak materialization of law 10,639, which we deduce is motivated by racial issues, since the majority of teaching content is European. Methodologically, we adopted analytical and descriptive research, through a qualitative approach, which deals directly with the issues and problematizations surrounding the field of multidisciplinary studies in Education, Linguistics and Cultural History. Therefore, teaching the history and culture of Central African and Black Diaspora peoples in schools is contributing to a new anti-racist historical consciousness.
