Terra Preta: expansão e expansão territorial na comunidade remanescente quilombola de Cutia em Boninal/BA

Abstract

The present study seeks to understand how the quilombola community of Cutia, in the municipality of Boninal, Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, uses traditional knowledge as a mechanism of resistance to processes of territorial expulsion, an expulsion caused by environmental racism (HERCULANO 2006, 2008; ACSELRAD, 2004; PACHECO, 2006, 2008), as it analyzes how this community has developed connections that dialogue through a multi-territorial system (HAESBAERT, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004) which we coin here as the Floating Quilombo transforming the processes of expulsion into expansion necessary for identity permanence, through the territorial flow between Cutia and the Macuco neighborhood in the city from Santos, São Paulo. Therefore, an attempt is made to develop an educommunication product to enhance the connection of the multiple inhabited territories, for this, it is intended to create an informative website that can be fed by the remnants in both locations and that is an educational tool for formal and/or non-formal education spaces.
