History of Africa, History teaching, Historical AwarenessAbstract
More than ten years after the enactment of Law 10.639/2003, which among other decisions made mandatory the teaching of History of Africa in Brazil, the subject has gradually been gaining ground in the classroom by the growing recognition of its role as a promotional agent of citizenship, through access to the memory and history of the African-Brazilians and Brazil, as a nation. This study uses the typology notion of the historical awareness established by Jörn Rüsen, in order to investigate how students of the eighth grade of a Public Elementary School (EMEF) in São Paulo have been thinking of Africa, the Africans and their history, based on the knowledge obtained at school and reevaluating their previous perceptions about the subject.
Key-words: History of Africa, History teaching, Historical Awareness.
