This work is the result of an analysis of the textbooks used in our Portuguese and History primary and secondary school classrooms, with the aim of discovering the profile and place reserved for black people in their content. There is a great lack of information about Afro-descendant culture in Brazil and its contributions to shaping the identity of the Brazilian people. The injustice of not publicising the legacy brought by native Africans, who were forcibly inserted into a strange and distant land and had to adapt and establish their roots on Brazilian soil, is visible. The culture they brought was incorporated into customs, such as dance, cuisine, music, religion, the language itself and a host of other elements. All of this constitutes the cultural wealth that Afro-descendants brought with them and, in a way, imposed on our culture, contributing in a big way to the formation of our identity.
