A Morosidade do processo de titulação como ameaça às comunidades quilombolas do Marajó: a análise da ação de antagonistas no município de Salvaterra

Abstract

The titling of quilombola territories is a tool of fundamental importance for the realization of rights of the communities that have historically struggled to remain in the lands they traditionally occupy. The present work was developed to identify and analyze the actions of the antagonists (farmers) in the face of the absence of the definitive property title of the quilombola communities of the Municipality of Salvaterra, on Marajó Island in Pará state. Through bibliographical research, document analysis, and interviews, it is possible to conclude that despite the extensive legal framework that recognizes the territorial right of quilombola communities, its effectiveness is hampered not only by the lengthy and bureaucratic administrative process installed in Brazil but also by the actions of antagonists to the titling process, who act by violating rights in the face of the fragility of communities that do not have a document for their lands.
