315 p., Examines expectations and experiences regarding the education of the black population in Santa Catarina. The expectations were observed in educational legislation, in speeches of the press and the province's government, which appeared mainly in the discussions about the Brazilian Law of Free Birth, with the emergence of the figure of the “ingênuo”.
