QUILOMBO BOA NOVA DE PROFESSOR JAMIL: OLHARES SOBRE RACISMO, EDUCAÇÃO NÃO FORMAL E EMPODERAMENTO

Abstract

This study stems from research carried out in the Graduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), offered at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IF Goiano), Campus Ceres. It seeks to understand how a black community, the Remnant Community of Quilombos Boa Nova, by Professor Jamil - GO, has carried out the confrontation against racism and the search for its own empowerment through its self-recognition as a Remaining Community of Quilombos and the formalization of a Quilombola Association , an institution of a legal nature that exerts a formative power over its members, at the same time that it potentiates and socially legitimizes actions that aim to transform reality itself. Initially, a bibliographic research was carried out on the topics under investigation, approaching authors such as Marx (1983), Freire and Shor (1986), Enguita (1989), Nosella (2007), Saviani (2007), Silva Júnior and Netto (2011), Lukács (2012), Ghedin (2012), Brandão and Dosso (2013), Gohn (2014) and Souza (2021). In the field work, the data were constructed from a semi-structured interview, developed with 7 participants, which were audio recorded and later transcribed by the researchers. The analyzes took place through the theoretical framework of Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). The results indicate that the community organization, as a Remnant Community of Quilombos and Quilombola Association, known to be non-formal spaces of education, has contributed to the fight against racism and to the empowerment of the group. The research also enabled the construction of an e-book about the characteristics and history of Professor Jamil and Boa Nova Quilombo.
