This essay discusses the construction of the right to education in Brazil, evidencing how the presence of people [with white skin] was historically determinant in the elaboration of education policies in contemporary Brazil. In order to do so, it analyzes the Brazilian Federal Constitutions (1824, 1891, 1934, 1937, 1946, 1967, 1988) in articulation with studies on the socio-historical specificities of the country. Through the materials, it explains the presence of color/race [white] in the formulation of education policies and points out some of the possible effects of this whiteness: in the delineation of the racial groups that accessed education as a right, and as a way of access to power.Downloads
