Entre lutas e silenciamentos: a Guerrilha do Araguaia nos livros didáticos da educação básica de Marabá-PA

Abstract

The Araguaia Guerilla (1972-1975) in the southern region of Pará, is an event in the history of Contemporary Brazil in which questions remain unanswered. The question still arises in the region: where are the bodies of those who participated in this important resistance movement against the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil? That is the claim of family members who suffered died and political disappearances from dictatorship and are still fighting for justice for their loved ones. This action has been contributing to breaking the silence imposed about State violence against guerrilla activists and peasants in the Araguaia region. This silencing was an attempt by the military to erase the evidence and records of the guerrilla movement and one of its consequences was the absence of the Araguaia Guerrilla in teaching history. The fundamental goal in this work is investigating, through textbooks and the course plan of the disciplines of History and Amazonian Studies, how the teaching of the Araguaia Guerrilla in the municipality of Marabá has taken place. To this end, interviews were conducted with teachers from the municipal network of Marabá in order to understand the challenges and possibilities of addressing the guerrilla theme in basic education.
