Trajetórias e identidade quilombolas: uma análise geracional junto a comunidades quilombolas de Canguçu/RS

Abstract

This dissertation presents a qualitative analysis aiming to examine the generational perspective of parents and children from four quilombola communities in the municipality of Canguçu, in the far south of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It utilizes, as a theoretical framework, Bernard Lahire's concept of dispositions, the writings and experiences of Nêgo Bispo, among other authors, and the author's life trajectory. To achieve this objective, semi-structured interviews were analyzed, conducted with parents and children to understand their origins, educational trajectory, the work their families have developed and are currently engaged in, and the perspectives regarding future work and education, conducting an analysis on the existence of changes in the trajectory from parent to child. Additionally, the study sought to understand what parents desire for their children – whether they want them to remain/return to the quilombo – and what the desires of the children and those who have left the community to study or work. Furthermore, it investigated the desire to return to the quilombo or not.
