História local em sala de aula: quilombos de Minas e identidade quilombola no século XXI

Abstract

The study of local history is configured in methodological strategy for the quilombo education, which in turn refers to a need to controversial debates about the history of blacks in Brazilian society. The quilombo theme is linked to African history, African-Brazilian and their overlaps relating to the application of the various forms of resistance created by freed African and African-Brazilian, free, "aquilombados" and the enslaved themselves "assenzalados". The development of this work was conducted in the sense of disquiet to mobilize researchers, teachers, school managers and quilombo communities to think the quilombo education from the appreciation of local history context. It refers to theoretical contributions from different areas of scientific knowledge. In the historiographical field it focuses on the study of black slavery in colonial and imperial Brazil. This work is to approach the literature discussion started on the course for undergraduate bachelor's degree in history. It used the methodology of oral history in the construction of research on black communities memories, especially with elders of the quilombo community of Felipe in Bom Jesus do Amparo. Because it is a search within the Professional Masters Program in Education and Teaching at the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, which aims to backslide into our teaching practice and give a social returns to employees and research subjects. This return is materialized through the "Miner Movement Quilombola Education", Internet site that proposes to discuss and gather sources that facilitate the construction of this quilombo education Minas Gerais. The results of this research are also fruit of discussions with members of the research group "Affirmative action" in the University, through the first School Education Improvement Course Quilombola / UFMG. My participation as a training teacher in this course led me to review my practices, as history teacher who works with students from the quilombo community of Felipe.
