Interface entre educação quilombola e modo de vida no Território da Massaranduba, Irará-BA: um quilombo nascido à luz do dia

Abstract

The aim of this work is to characterize the socio-territorial formation of the Quilombola Community of Massaranduba- Municipality of Irará-Bahia and to investigate how the community's modes of life (production, work, culture) materialize as educational processes. My identification as a rural quilombola resident in the territory of Massaranduba makes me inquire about such questions. Thus to deepen the questions I sought support in ethnographic research, because I allowed a direct contact with the object researched from this method it was possible to understand that the territorial formation of the community is associated with the formation of the identity territory Portal do Sertão, and that its mode of life (festivities, cultural manifestations, religiosity, agricultural production and social organization) materialize as educational processes contributing to the permanence of the population in the territory. With the struggle of the black movement and the approval of Law 10.639 / 03 amended by Law 11.645 / 08, the community's way of life had the possibility of moving from the daily to the school space, helping the subjects of the territories to recognize themselves as producers of knowledge, denaturalizing racism and prejudice, increasing the self-esteem of the community that will understand themselves as constructors of their own education. Therefore the way of life of these communities should be references for the construction of quilombola education, so that it becomes effectively a model of liberating education.
