Abstract
This article provides an overview of the scenario of textbooks in Brazil, marked by the National Book and Teaching Material Program (PNLD). The analysis focus is on the PNLD 2020 call notice and on the advances and challenges regarding Portuguese and literatures textbooks. Supported by Dialogic Discourse Analysis (ADD) assumptions, the text traces a history of PNLD and presents a discussion about the textbook market in Brazil. The analysis of the PNLD 2020 call notice is in comparison with recent research on challenges and perspectives regarding the teaching of languages in textbooks, among which Silva and Pereira (2018), Paim (2018) and Amorim (2017). The results point to advances in aspects such as care regarding stereotyped representations and respect for legislation and official documents. The challenges are still present, especially in the space that the materials allocate to black and indigenous literatures and to critical student positioning.
