It is used for this, the explanatory axis of Cultural Studies, added to the Foucault's theories; it is argued that in the modern Brazilian state's formation, there was a series of marginalization devices of the black population such as the bleaching policies, myth racial democracy and discourses about miscegenation. Despite those marginalizations, there were also a number of complaints, in particular from the black movements, about those exclusion process and it is in this context of resistance to an Eurocentric national identity that school education came to be seen by black men and women as an essential space for the inclusion of their cultural and political characteristics in the national identity.
