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 and artistas bahianos, published in 1909, and other documentary collections are used as sources, from which I present and list, in a diachronic manner, his reflections on the detours to schooling 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 mixed-race talents from productive and school environments, with repercussions reaching the present day
