Abstract

"BECOMING QUILOMBOLA IN MONTE SÃO SEBASTIÃO (SantaLuzia / PB): etnographyng discussions about the origin and the question of language rights of Kinship", talks about the way the residents of São Sebastião, in the municipality of Santa Luzia in Paraíba, who recognize themselves as descendants of Serra do Talhado from the ties of kinship and the idea of sharing a common origin, the self-identify with the identity quilombola, established a process claim for recognition as remnants of quilombo, in the public sphere.With objective to discuss about this scenario, is made use of research techniques such as participant observation and interviews were structured and unstructured. As our research inserts in the tradition of the social sciences, especially in the anthropology, we favour as a research method field work, which allowed us to share the daily life of some of the residents of the neighborhood São Sebastião - known around town as Monte - specifically those who recognize themselves as belonging to Serra do Talhado. We perceive that the categories of kinship are used as forms of explanation to support the links with Serra do Talhado, located in the rural area of Santa Luzia, and first quilombo recognized in the region.Thus, from family relations maintained with Serra do Talhado, found in the neighborhood São Sebastião, a group ethnically constituted, lthough this being far from their place of origin. This group, which we call here the offspring of Serra do Talhado of Monte de São Sebastião, define themselves through the categories of kinship, and by those claiming recognition of their situation quilombo.
