QUILOMBO BRISA DA MEMÓRIA: LUGAR ONDE O VENTO SOPRA O QUE O TEMPO NUNCA LEVOU

Abstract

Quilombo Brisa da Memória: Where the Wind Carries What Time Never Took Away is a children's literary work that explores memory, ancestry, identity, and the resistance of Quilombola communities through the story of a fictional urban quilombo inspired by Quilombola communities in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Guided by the character Wind, the narrative follows a young girl on a journey of discovery about the origins of quilombos, the formation of the Brisa da Memória community, and the continuity of knowledge, traditions, and community bonds across generations. The story highlights the importance of oral traditions, ancestral memory, solidarity, traditional knowledge, respect for elders, and the fight against racism, reaffirming the central role of Quilombola communities in preserving their identities and ways of life.
