Livros brancos, imagens negras:

uma abordagem (in)disciplinar

Abstract

This paper aims to contribute with elements for the problematisation, expansion, and improvement of the study of African history textbooks in Brazilian education. Textbooks are often limited by new stereotypes, with images that erase the violence present in interracial relationships. On the other hand, the authorship of these images in textbooks still does not belong, for the most part, to black artists and intellectuals. We propose an approach to the art of Rosana Paulino, with the aim of thinking about how her work: a) incorporates elements that allow us to recognise the presence of black women in the contemporary artistic context; b) calls into question the proliferation of a vision of the world that excludes women; and c) profiles any content of African History from an anti-racist horizon.
