Abstract

In the past recent years, polarized political protests have become visible and recurring phenomena in Brazil. Given this scenario, what are the potentialities and limits presented by the Brazilian Sociology textbooks for reflecting on these episodes of confrontation and collective mobilization? To answer this problem, we analysed secondary school Sociology textbooks approved by PNLD 2018 with the purpose of subsidizing the production of an activity book aimed at secondary school teachers. We adopted the methodology of content analysis of books and
then we identified how this content relates to contemporary academic
approaches on social movements. The results of this analysis indicate,
on the one hand, that their potentialities are related to the historical contextualization and the thematic articulation present in them. On the other hand, they indicate the presence of limits related to the
reproduction of theoretical assumptions questioned by contemporary approaches on this topic.
