O olhar geográfico: a formação e territorialização de comunidades quilombolas no município de São Miguel do Guamá, Pará

Abstract

Understanding the formation and territorialisation of the Quilombola communities of the municipality of São Miguel do Guamá and their strategies of everyday resistance was one of the challenges of this work. As a general objective, studied four Quilombola communities of the municipality of São Miguel do Guamá, by these present a diversity of issues related to territoriality in the Amazon region of para, quilombola essential to the process of agrarian regularization in the State of Pará. I used the following methodological procedures: document analysis, bibliographic survey, interviews with screenplay by semi-structured questions, questionnaires, filling out form for the preparation of a database, observation and photographic records. The study revealed that the emergence of the quilombola identity does come out elements that mark the sense of belonging to the territory. I believe that this sentiment triggers the process of construction of the quilombola territoriality which in a way is based on the struggle for permanence in the land, in the work of the farm and in the relations of kinship, neighbourhood and religiosity. Given this, this study conclusively, recognises the identity-building process, the problem of the quilombola replaced Earth, in the workplace and the family as a primary unit of production and reproduction.
