Movimentos indígenas no Acre: interculturalidade e produção de saberes face a situação colonial

Abstract

The Thesis is based on an analysis of three intersecting dimensions of the indigenous movement in Acre: the protagonism of Indigenous Agroforestry Agents (AAFIs), the protagonism of women, and the protagonism of youth. The aim was to understand how, through intercultural practices, agents of this movement produce knowledge about the colonial situation to which indigenous peoples are subjected. In this direction, there is a discussion of macro concepts such as the Anthropocene to understand the contemporary colonial situation, in an effort to intertwine them with the visions of these and other leaders. The thesis emerges in the form of a descriptive mosaic and interweaves a line of discussion about interculturality as an art of interethnic relations, its possibilities and limitations in facing the threats inherent in the colonial situation by the indigenous peoples with whom the fieldwork was conducted.
