THE TEXTBOOK AND THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the different forms of treatment, discussion and display of civil-military coup of 1964 in Brazil, as well as its subsequent development in 21 years of dictatorship that suppressed democracy and raped in different textbooks, in an attempt to see similarities and distinctions according to each author and then discussed. The research seeks to demonstrate the uses and no uses of the textbook in society, understanding it as an important strategy for the propagation of ideological discourses and political regimes. As a primary source, it resorted to the analysis of four didactic books found in the warehouse of a Magé/RJ school, published between the 1970s and 2000s, and which bring, in their content, debates about the period of the military dictatorship in the country. It concluded that the military dictatorship used textbooks as a mean of propaganda of the regime, as well as left deep marks in the didactics of Brazilian Basic Education, which in different ways are being overcome in our country.
