Abstract

From the perspective of the social history of education, taking the trajectories of black intellectuals and educators as a methodological path, I discuss the themes of education and work present in the work of the Afro-Bahian intellectual and educator Manuel Querino (1851-1923). His books As artes na Bahia e artistas bahianos, published in 1909, and other documentary collections are used as sources of this study, from which I present and list, in a diachronic manner, his reflections on the schooling paths adopted by public powers for the popular classes, in the contexts of the last two decades of the slave monarchy and post-abolition, which resulted in the exclusion of black and mestizo talents from school and productive environments, whose reflexes reach the present time.
