This research entitled Textbook of Portuguese Language and Law 10.639 / 2003: (ex) inclusion of the black theme in the material of the 6th year of Elementary School - aims to investigate the implementation of Law 10.639 / 2003 in two textbooks of Portuguese Language for the 6th year of Elementary School distributed by the National Textbook Program (PNLD): To live together - Portuguese, by Ana Elisa de Arruda Penteado (2015) and Tecendo Linguagens, by Tania Amaral Oliveira and Lucy Aparecida Melo Araújo (2018). Based on authors who discuss racial issues in Brazilian education, such as Gomes (2005), Silva (2005; 2011), Munanga (2005), Amador de Deus (2008), Ribeiro (2013), among others, as well as in the anti-racist educational legislation, it is a bibliographic research that is focused on verifying whether, after seventeen years after the institution of the Law, the textbook has included or silenced the black theme at school. As it is a material of great circulation inside and outside the school space, books have a leading role in the formation of the individual and can serve as political instruments for the diffusion and / or deconstruction of stereotypes and racist discourses. In this sense, to assess the presence or absence of blacks in the materials, our analysis is directed to two main aspects that structure the Portuguese language textbook: the proposed texts and activities. In addition to the analysis of the chosen material, we also seek to present as a pedagogical intervention proposal, from the analyzed books themselves, a set of didactic strategies that favor a teaching of the Portuguese language with a focus on promoting racial equality in the classroom. and advance in the process of critical inclusion of the black theme in school.
