Abstract

This article aims at discussing the demands which led to the promulgation of Law number 10.639/03, based on from Abdias Nascimento and Florestan Fernandes’s standpoints. Furthermore, I propose reflections upon the part of literature teaching concerning its target demands, as well as its role of promoting plain citizenship, by highlighting the following novels: Abdulai Sila’s A última tragédia, and Conceição Evaristo’s Ponciá Vicêncio.
