A look at the ethnic-racial issues in the Math history presentations presented by the 2018 PNLD medical education Mathematical books

This text consists of studies carried out in the Graduate Program in Mathematical Education of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (PPGEdumat / UFMS) and is part of the research line "Curriculum and Mathematical Education". The aim of this article is to describe and analyze discourses mobilized in the approach made, about the History of the Sets, contained in the High School textbooks, approved in PLND 2018. To achieve this objective, the theoretical contributions of discourse analysis were used from the Foucaultian perspective and the contributions of culture, identity and representation of Stuart Hall. In the analyzes, a mathematics curriculum was observed as a political field, which, by presenting certain representations about the history of mathematics, causes the erasure of ethnic-racial issues, especially those related to black popular culture, through a hegemonization of western culture, from their historical achievements, in scientific context and related fields.
