Abstract

His research evaluated the place that Afro-Brazilian religions occupy in the teaching of African History in state schools in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, observing the relationship between racism and religion. To this end, we used the Discourse Theory developed by Ernesto Laclau and the Discourse Analysis methodology developed by Michel Pêcheux in order to apprehend, through the speeches of teachers, school managers and activists and former militants of the Pernambuco black movement , attitudes of visibility or not to these traditions. Examination of the statements signaled the presence of various ideologies in the schools surveyed, but specifically on the work with religions on screen as a theme for teaching African History, what was identified was the ideology of invisibility justified by the rejection of the community school. On the other hand, the militant discourse went against the need to debate them in education as a form of resistance.
