Resumo: Textbooks have been the subject of intense academic debate in recent decades worldwide. Mainly around their role in transmitting educational content and knowledge.This article analyses the image and representation of Western European colonialism and Portuguese colonialism, stricto sensu, in the textbook História da Guiné e Ilhas de Cabo Verde, published by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands (PAIGC) in 1974.In its eagerness to challenge and contest the colonial logic and Portuguese rule in Guinea (Bissau), the PAIGC invested, practically from the beginning of the armed struggle for national liberation, in teaching whose primary objective was to exclude the reproduction of the colonial mentality through the publication of textbooks with new content. The aim was to deconstruct a certain “glorious” colonial past to challenge European imperialism and build a new narrative based on new actors and protagonists in history and discourse.

Principalmente em torno do seu papel na transmissão de conteúdos e conhecimentos educativos.Este artigo analisa a imagem e a representação do colonialismo europeu ocidental e do colonialismo português, stricto sensu, no manual História da Guiné e Ilhas de Cabo Verde, publicado pelo Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Ilhas de Cabo Verde (PAIGC) em 1974.Na ânsia de desafiar e contestar a lógica colonial e o domínio português na Guiné (Bissau), o PAIGC investiu, praticamente desde o início da luta armada de libertação nacional, num ensino cujo objetivo primordial era excluir a reprodução da mentalidade colonial através da publicação de manuais com novos conteúdos. O objetivo era desconstruir um certo passado colonial “glorioso”, desafiar o imperialismo europeu e construir uma nova narrativa baseada em novos atores e protagonistas da história e do discurso.Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa2024-03-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2023.n17.33186https://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2023.n17.33186Práticas da História.
