Políticas educacionais e identidade cultural na comunidade quilombola Jardim Cascata, em Aparecida de Goiânia

Abstract

The present work, registered in the research line Identity, Traditions and Territoriality, aims to make a critical analysis of the Political Pedagogical Project of the Serra das Areias and Valdir Gonçalves Aguiais schools, of the Jardim Cascata community, in Aparecida de Goiânia-GO, with the purpose of observing the official documents that regulate Quilombola Education, listing the requirements and parameters that they define as mandatory, such as, for example, decrees No. 4,887 / 2003; 4,886 / 2003; 6,261 / 2007; 2,261 / 2007; Decree 7.031-A, of September 6, 1878; Law No. 9,394 / 1996 (Law of Directives and Bases of Education); Resolution No. 8, of November 20, 2012, which defines the National Curriculum Guidelines for Quilombola School Education in Basic Education, among others. In view of this, it is sought to ascertain whether the identity of these peoples is being protected in the referred institutions, through the law and the school document. For this, a brief review was made about the emergence of Brazilian quilombos, as well as the cultural elements that form them: territory, identity and religious practices. It is worth noting that, throughout Brazil's history, traditional peoples, as well as blacks, had their trajectory annulled and, many times, invalidated by the State. Thus, talking about the importance of quilombolas in the formation of Brazilian society and the preservation of their identity and culture through laws is to contribute to the maintenance of the country's historical memory. In order to achieve our objectives in the analysis of documents, we use the discourse analysis of the pedagogical projects and the referred laws.
