Sociology of black brazil: The pedagogy of clóvis moura’s thought

Abstract

The article discusses the importance of the work of Clóvis Moura for Brazilian sociological thought, in general, and for the teaching of Sociology in Secondary School, in a specific way. The use of aspects of the author's theoretical production allows the emergence of counter-hegemonic narratives on fundamental themes of sociological discipline, as well as the legislation in force regarding Basic Education - article 26-A of the LDB - provides legal support for this debate to contribute with an antiracist education. In this respect, the article starts with conceptual notions of Moura – “complete enslavement”, “late slavery” and “quilombagem” - and proposes reflections on the protagonism of the black population and its unfolding in the history and formation of the Brazilian nation. These considera-tions are the based of the discourse analysis carried out with the PNLD - 2015 Sociology textbooks, tracing the limits and the absence of the racial question as an intellectual task of the first order.
