SUMMARY:

The work aims to contribute to the field of studies on the teaching of Afro-Brazilian history and culture by investigating a central theme in African cultures: the baobab tree. Specifically, it undertakes an interpretative analysis of the children's book "Obax," written and illustrated by André Neves (2010), in juxtaposition with the autobiographical memories of the author of this dissertation, who grew up and was educated in schools in Guinea-Bissau. The work thus employs methodologies of comparative education, considering, on one hand, the representation, also imagery, of the baobab tree in Neves' work, and on the other hand, the ancestral knowledge acquired orally in the shadows of baobab trees in Guinea. Prominent among the results is the significance of the baobab tree and the traditional knowledge associated with it in Guinea, as well as the value of this knowledge for education in Brazil, recognizing the centrality of knowledge derived from African history and traditions. The research is linked to the Comparative Studies in Education (Ecoe) research line of the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGE), within the Faculty of Education (FE) at the University of Brasília (UnB).
