Identidade afro-brasileira: abordagem do ensino da arte

The article discusses how the omission, in Artistic Education didactic books, of representations of the artistic and cultural production of the black segment and of its cultural tradition, has contributed to the permanence of biases and to the marginalization of the black people in Brazil. The article proposes to recover the black-African art, aesthetics and culture in its different aspects and reinstating its presence in Western culture, most especially in the Brazilian culture, to value the black segment's cultural identity.
