Angra Além dos Reis: ensino de História e as memórias dos subalternizados

Abstract

This research aimed to propose, through theoretical and methodological assumptions of Local History, mobilize and engage students of the youth and adult education (YAE) modality at Antônio Dias Lima State College, in order to reaffirm identities and recover memories of Frade Cunhambebe borough, located in Angra dos Reis. It argues that with the arrival of modernity to the area with the opening of the Rio-Santos Highway, which brought new roles to the region, the local culture suffered huge transformations that affected the traditional caiçara identity of the territory which came to be associated with backwardness and rusticity. And, in its place, a local associated with high-standard tourism was being built, causing a loss of identity and silencing. Thereby, the research carried out together with the students, from the perspective of Popular Education, aims to value the knowledge and experience of the subalternized.
