Latin America; textbook; high school
The analysis of the presence of Latin America in the didactic productions and striking legislations in the process of consolidation of the teaching of History to the present, with the perspective of decoloniality is part of the effort of understanding the path of elaboration of the Brazilian identity that, sometimes, is not presented as related to the continent of origin. The production of specific didactic materials on the history of Latin America in primary education was not constant, and varied according to educational reforms. Thus it is interesting to analyze within the framework of Universal History how much and how the history of Latin America is cited and contextualized from the decolonial turn.Therefore, the objective of the present work is to identify and analyze the teaching of Latin American History in High School, during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries through the lens of decoloniality.
