Quilombo da Liberdade um horizonte antirracista: cultura, trabalho e memória da violência no Quilombo Liberdade

Abstract

This dissertation is a production of reflections and practices about the potentialities of using the space of the urban quilombo as a place for the construction of historical knowledge, focusing on the territory of Quilombo Liberdade, in São Luís. The work was part of the research line Historical Knowledge in Different Spaces of Memory and has as its central question to think about three dimensions as a focus for anti-racist education within the teaching of History. These dimensions are: Culture, Work and Memory of violence. Interviews and bibliographic readings were used as sources throughout the research, as well as visits to local spaces of relevance to the theme. From the crossing of these different sources and through the methodology of anti-racist education, an anti-racist education guide focused on the three dimensions mentioned above was also produced, which intends to present history teachers with a path in the construction of class proposals with an anti-discrimination and emanicipatory to the other urban quilombos in Brazil. The general objective of this work is to understand anti-racist education as a methodology that can be applied in the teaching of history in urban quilombos, as well as specific objectives: to understand historically the notion of emancipation, to broaden the understanding of what and to present history teachers with a possibility of teaching and learning in this area of knowledge from the black body in the space-place of the urban peripheries.
