SUMMARY:

This project proposes, from a decolonial perspective (Walsh 2009), to investigate the process of identity formation among the inhabitants of Quilombo Mucambo, located in Santa Cruz de Goiás, focusing on the leading role played by black quilombo women. The main objective is to analyze the organizational process of these women from regulation and maintenance to the defense of the territory, considering their practices and experiences, their forms of resistance and (re)existence (Carneiro 2003). The time period of the investigation ranges from the 2000s, when they obtained ownership of the land with a Certificate of Self-Recognition of Remaining Quilombo Community, to the present day. The specific objectives of the research are: (1) to historicize the recognition of Quilombo Mucambo in Santa Cruz de Goiás; (2) to identify the role of women in this process of fighting for the right to territory; (3) to understand how Quilombo identity is constructed, understood as a process of quilombagem (Bispo 2015); (4) to understand the construction of these identities from an intersectional perspective; (5) to listen to and construct with these women narratives about the territory and ancestry;The research is based on the following hypotheses: (1) quilombola women combat oppression in various ways; (2) quilombola women's organizations are nourished by the epistemologies of thinking-doing-living-feeling characteristic of quilombos; (3) there is a silencing of the political actions of quilombola women; (4) quilombos are black and female inventions; (5) land/territory is the central basis of the political activities of quilombola women in Mucambo, as a local organization, it retains characteristics of the global political activities of women in Brazil, forming a black quilombola feminism that draws on collective quilombola practices. To carry out this research, I start from an ethnographic perspective (Clifford, 1989). To this end, conversation circles, interviews, visits to farms, and artisan and cultural groups will be used. In addition, as part of the methodological approach, the intention is to exchange letters written with the women, audio recordings, and written materials on the history of struggle and resistance of the quilombolas of Mucambo. This project is expected to contribute to studies on quilombos, land issues, and gender by proposing to narrate the quilombola history from the perspective of women on their forms of organization in the territories, in dialogue with the theories of intersectionality and decolonial studies.
