Abstract

The history of black populations in Brazil is characterized and related to the history of quilombos, which date back to a period of struggle and resistance by black people that continues to this day. The objective of this work is to identify the cultural (re)existences of a community of black families, the Ribeiro community, in the municipality of Monte Horebe, located in the Immediate Geographical Region of Cajazeiras, Paraíba (PB) The research was carried out during the months of January to April 2023. Through the memory of these residents, we were able to identify the moment when their identities began to be related to the concepts of territory, identity related to black peasants. The research was developed through visits to the community with observation, interview, oral history script with ten families. This community does not recognize itself as quilombolas, but as blacks. The Ribeiro community went through many moments of difficulty and still stands firm and resisting, despite having few members today, we can see strongly the traces of the struggle and resistance of the families that still remain in the struggle for identity recognition. The research is structured in four chapters. For the theoretical basis we used authors such as Haesbaert 2004 Schwartz 1994. Almeida 1996. When co-occluding the research, we noticed the size of the difficulties faced by the remnants, mainly in the interior, where policies for these peoples almost do not reach.
