questão da infância na guerra do Paraguai/Guerra Guasu (1864-1870): análise das Coleções Didáticas das séries finais do Ensino Fundamental (PNLD 2020)

Abstract

This study investigates the silencing of children's participation in the Paraguayan War (1864-1870) in history textbooks used in the final grades of elementary school. The analysis focused on the textbooks "História, Sociedade e Cidadania" and "História.doc", both part of the PNLD 2020. The research found that while the conflict is addressed, there is no mention of children’s involvement on the battlefield, such as in the Battle of Acosta Ñu. The absence of this narrative contributes to an incomplete view of history and silences vulnerable subjects who participated in the war. The study suggests revising educational materials to include this participation, providing students with a broader and more humanized understanding of history.
