The premise of racial equity in education has gained legislative reinforcement with the compulsory teaching of African, Afro-Brazilian and indigenous history and culture through laws 10639/2003 and 11645/2008. Some studies have pointed out a huge importance to the textbooks in the school environment. In this sense, the objective of this article is to analyze the ethnic-racial representativeness and representation in two school textbooks collections distributed in the City and State of Sao Paulo.
