Acesso em:.1984-1566https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/14778This article articulates the decolonial studies contribution (QUIJANO, 2005; LUCINI and SANTOS, 2018) to the habitus notion (BOURDIEU, 2009). The objective is to show how this practical, incorporated and pre-reflective knowledge, non-literate cultures characteristic, historically coexisted with the education system influence, an institution that sought to make indigenous, black, mestizo, and their descendants reproduce elites culture in the Brazilian Amazon since the Portuguese colonization, in 1616, to the present day. The study concluded that despite the power coloniality, racism, and exploitation by local elites, these mestizo Amazon workers have historically managed to insert themselves in the world of work, thanks to a habitus that articulates the environment domain with an alliances network between exploited. These strategies allowed them to conserve relative economic and cultural autonomy, in different historical periods, in the face of the interests of the ruling classes and the State.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Relação saber-poderReprodução socialSistemas de ensinoEducação interculturalKnowledge-power relationshipSocial reproductionTeaching systemsIntercultural educationArtigo de Periódico10.22196/rp.v22i0.6313
