Educação quilombola: um estudo (auto)biográfico sobre o Quilombo Santa Rita do Bracuí – resistência ou reinvenção?

Abstract

The present study highlights the relevance of the participation of Africans and Afro-descendants in the composition of the Quilombos, as well as emphasizing the social organization with a significant pedagogy that values diversity, emphasizing the educational practices that collaborate for the formation of identities through relationships established in Quilombo and in the school institution. The purpose of this work is to use (auto) biographical research about the educational and cultural context of Quilombo Bracuí residents, in the city of Angra dos Reis, in Rio de Janeiro, to analyze the idea of forming students' identities through of living in quilombola communities. To this end, bibliographic research, interviews with residents and educators about this type of teaching were carried out, identifying its contribution to the construction of quilombola identities. The study was based on a dialogue with the theories of the post-structural, post-colonial current, provoking discussions about how these post-colonial discourses dialogue with the concepts of alterity, identity and the relationship with the sacred, resulting in the production of a e-book (product of the dissertation) containing the quilombola territorial singularity.
