Abstract

The work entitled, Between history and memory: Adélia de França a black teacher from Paraíba in the twentieth century (1926 1976) , it has the aim to revisit her teaching career, taking into account her social place and ethnic belonging in the history context from Paraíba education. In this perspective, we seek to learn from the experience of other women the similarities and differences in deeds and plots (individual and collective), as well as, we can perceive the achievements and challenges in claiming in the society and in the history, demarked by its specific. The undertaken studies were constituted by a set of methodological procedures, such as: the bibliographical research, the analysis of written documentary sources from official and personal character, and the production of oral sources, considering the memories of witnesses (family, ex-students), the latter based on the theoretical and methodological theories of oral history, postulated by Alberti (2005), Bosi (1994) among others; we also use other sources which were produced during the research (photographs). We use the contributions of the Social History studied by Thompson (1987; 1998; 2001), Hobsbawm (1998a; 1998b; 1998c) e Burke (2012). We also point out this research fits in the debates on the Teaching of History and Historical Knowledge, as we propose through the triggering of memory, historiography the teaching practices, seeking to recall the forgotten, the marginalized and the silenced in the history in a/an (in)visualized scenario.
