Abstract

This paper presents the results of research Education and Resistance in the Lower Itacuruçá Community in Abaetetuba in Pará: The Role of School St. Andrew in Affirmation and Exploitation of Quilombo Identity, which aims to understand how these educational processes contributed and contribute to the daily experiences of constituent elements of community resistance: education, memory and identity. Subsidized theoretically in reference to popular education, especially in the works of José Reis, Flávio Gomes, Vicente Salles, Robert Slenes, Nilma Lino Gomes, Miguel Arroyo, Tomas Tadeu da Silva, Antonio Ciampa, Frigoto, Vera Candau, we seek to understand the quilombo in its epistemology of resistance. The methodology of ethnographic research was supported by the contributions of collaborative knowledge., The insertion in the community took place from December 2015 to August 2016. The participants were 18 people and the analysis of the speeches of these employees seek to understand how these educational processes of resistance and curricular practices contributed and contribute to the construction of the quilombo identity of this community. The study was prepared by field research, using the technique of data collection, observation, daily journaling of campo.O locus of the investigation was limited to the community Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Lower Itacuruçá in Abaetetuba in the state of Pará, as a Quilombola community, with a history of struggle and resistance to guarantee rights to education and improvement in living conditions, which the school seeks to firm as the lead in this process of resistance. The ethnographic record, from a field diary, has favored such an observation. Analysis of the interviews enabled us to see the emergence of two educational insights derived from the statements of the respondents education professionals: that education goes through neglect of the government and which shows up as an instrument of perpetuation and spread of prejudice; to that education built at school, through the community of struggle, organizations can be an instrument of transformation of reality itself.
