Cabanagem e o ensino médio na Amazônia: o desencontro entre a resistência e o currículo

Abstract

This study analyzes the disconnect between the Cabanagem movement and the high school curriculum in two public schools in Acará/PA: Escola Deusalina da Cunha e Sousa Carneiro and Escola Felipe Patroni. The qualitative research employed bibliographic review, document analysis, interviews, observations, and questionnaires, drawing on authors such as Raiol (1865, 1970), Ricci (2001, 2006, 2024), Salles (1971, 1992, 2009, 2025), Di Paolo (1985), Pinheiro (2001), Barriga (2024), and Gadelha (2009, 2024). Results show that over 90% of students are unaware of the Cabanagem, highlighting a significant curricular gap. Although the schools promote the appreciation of Indigenous and quilombola peoples, the absence of Cabanagem in official documents undermines local historical education and weakens the construction of identity and the right to memory among the youth of Acará.
