Entre raízes e livros: a geografia da educação escolar quilombola sob a lente do levantamento bibliográfico e da pesquisa de campo

Abstract

This course completion work is one of the knowledge products resulting from the project "Traditional Communities, Public Policies and Territorial Development", financed by the Alagoas State Research Support Foundation (FAPEAL), under the leadership of Professor Dr. Avelar Araujo Santos Junior, where he has the role of analyzing the interconnection between Territory, Culture and Education in quilombola communities in Alagoas. The research will use a historical-materialist and dialectical approach to education in quilombola communities, highlighting cultural geography as a tool to understand how territorial dynamics influence cultural identity. The methodology adopted includes the geographical analysis of the bibliography from 2006 to 2022 on quilombola education, both as a main and secondary theme. Furthermore, the study incorporates a field visit carried out by the research team at a school within a Quilombo quilombola community, located in Santa Luzia do Norte, Alagoas, complementing the theoretical approach with practical experiences. The research objectives include evaluating the role of the territory in Quilombola School Education, considering geographic, environmental and cultural aspects. The analysis also seeks to identify the most relevant bibliographic sources on the topic, highlighting the evolution of research over time and pointing out gaps in the existing literature. The work emphasizes the continuity of the research, providing a bibliographic essay that will serve as a theoretical reference for the master's thesis, already approved. The dissertation intends to emphasize a specific community, using the school as a focal point for the community's territoriality. In this way, the essay not only highlights the contributions of research to date, but also outlines a future trajectory. By integrating theory, literature review, field experience and planning for the master's degree, the work seeks a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the intersection between territory, culture and education in quilombola communities in Alagoas.
