ABSTRACT

To recognize him in this way means to realize that color, race and rrejudice in Brazil compose the plexus of conceptions for the confrontation of racial issues and their harmful consequences in the formation of children and adolescents, through the construction of a new way of thinking the formation of the nation and nationality. The study is a qualitative approach, with application of the bibliographic research based on Skidmore, Schwarcz, Guimarães, Ianni, Hasenbalg, Munanga, Hofbauer, and Costa, among others. The analysis points out that the mestizo was admitted as a transitory element that would lead to the constitution of a nation of whites.
