(Des)reterritorialização da comunidade de remanescentes de Quilombo, Quarenta, Triunfo-PB.

Abstract

The present work presents reflections on the process of (de) reterritorialization of the members of the Quilombo Remnant Community, Quarenta, Triunfo-PB, located in the mesoregion of Sertão Paraibano. The origin of this community is the Madre D'água quilombo in the municipality of Pombal-PB in the 1950s. We assume that the migratory process developed is linked to conflicts over land tenure in the place of origin of this community. Therefore, we developed the research between the months of October 2015 to February 2017 and formulated as general objective the investigation of how territorial occupation and the reproduction of the culture of these remnants of quilombo, in the city of Triunfo-PB, considering the process Of (de) reterritorialization experienced by them. In order to understand our object of study, we used questionnaires developed with members of the community and oral interviews semistructured with notes in notebooks, during the field work performed; Besides documentary and bibliographical survey, cultural and social observation of the subjects within the municipality and photographic records. In addition to the introduction and considerations, we constructed three sub-items discussing slavery, quilombo creation, community migration process and their social and cultural development in a new territory. Finally, we hope to cooperate with future research on black communities so that they can contribute to the organization of these communities in the claims of their rights.
