(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-03-27) SILVA, Cristiano Pinto da; COELHO, Wilma de Nazaré Baía; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1035616337472088
This study aimed to identify the theoretical support that grounds the production of Kabengele Munanga and characterize the conception of black identity in the production of the author, and its contributions to the curriculum of the Brazilian Education. To achieve these objectives were researched two books of the author that deal specifically about the construction of the black identity. We also researched the bibliographic production realized by Brazilian and foreigner researchers that deal about the racial relations, the construction of the black identity and its implications for the Brazilian educational context, that are related to the academic production of Kabengele Munanga. This work was based on a theoretical research, starting from the reading of the documents and bibliography about the construction of the black identity and education. The school is understood as a social institution that generates values and reproduces the culture, therefore, becomes of fundamental importance the action of the school in avoiding any discrimination, being it for race, ethnicity, social rate, gender, religion or age. The trajectory of discrimination, segregation and denial of the black identity in all socialization institutions, including the school awakens the debate about initiatives for the statement of the rights of access to the education in all levels, understanding the great importance of the education in changing an unfavorable social context to the black people, as the Brazilian is. The denial of the black identity is characterized as a historical fact since the colonization of Brazil, and has been frequently stated in curricular omissions that are materialized in the silence about this object of study and the African culture. In this context, the educators havent received a specific formation to handle with the ethnic cultural diversity, neither with racial matters involved in their school quotidian.

Processos identitários e suas vicissitudes em uma comunidade quilombola
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) SOUZA, Ercília Maria Soares; BARRETTO, André Maurício Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3046718437592588
Studies about the processes of identity construction have gained great attention in researches developed in other academic domains, such as psychology, anthropology, social sciences, and psychoanalysis. These studies investigated the relationships between members of a given community and they center their efforts on important themes, as the following: the mechanisms of identity construction, and the organization of the social relations. The present study investigates an extremely current event, which will shed a light on the antagonistic relations related to the processes of identity construction. With the new Constitution of 1988, some black rural communities were forced into a unique legal situation: in order to obtain the benefits prescribed in the Constitution – which affirms that the descendants of ancient Brazilian Maroons (Quilombolas) have the right of ownership of the land that they occupied – the descendants of the Brazilian Maroons must give proof of their Maroon identity. This situation brings up some issues: How to build up an “identity”? What are the consequences of it? Given this situation, this study will focus on a black rural community of Abacatal (PA), which has been identified as a Maroon community since 1999, with the goal of pointing out some harm involved in the processes of identity construction. Twelve community member were interviewed, 5 men and 7 women, with ages between 27 and 68 – year old. All interviewees had been living in the community for at least thirteen years, therefore, all of them experienced the process of acquiring land ownership through the process of establishing a Maroon identity. The results of the study revealed that: a) the identities constructed evoked slave ancestors and also myths of the community creation (the story of the union between and noble man and slaved woman); b) the establishment of a Maroon identity brough benefits for the members of this Brazilian Maroon community; c) there are several, sometimes conflicting, meanings related to the identity of being a Brazilian Maroon, as for instance the meaning of being a black out-law. The conclusion is that, these processes of identity construction, experienced by the members of the community studied, as well as for each one of us, give us the human status and they are, as says Costa (2000), what keep us alive and add pleasure in our lives.
