A COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA CÓRREGO FUNDO NO MUNICÍPIO DE BREJINHO DE NAZARÉ TO.

Abstract

This research aims to verify whether the Community Quilombola Stream Fund in the city of Nazareth Brejinho implies the continuation and - or group identity loss. The study is a reconstruction of the groups history, through on-site research, theoretical frameworks, document analysis, drawing on memory and oral tradition of community residents, from its social dimensions, to discuss the communitys way of life. Centuries ago, the formation of quilombos was a form of resistance that drove the slaves looking for freedom to oppose the slave system and rebuild their identity; today, this resistance is related to the struggle of the Maroons, whose fundamental right is the right to land. Scattered throughout Brazil, the former quilombo communities had their recognition and their territorial rights guaranteed constitutionally. This does not characterize land policy, but a historical social groups that contributed to the construction of national identity. The Quilombola Community Stream Fund (TO), which has its territorial recognition guaranteed by the constitution, is weakened by the feeling of invisibility, since the slowness and existing barriers in its territory titling process undermine the continuity of the group, its social inclusion, redemption of identity and respect for citizenship.
