Renda, território e estado social: análise do Programa Bolsa Família nas comunidades quilombolas do sítio histórico Kalunga em Cavalcante (GO)

Abstract

Public policies, through the implementation of income transfer programs - such as the Bolsa Família Program and the universalization of health and education systems are essential for the consolidation of social rights provided in the Federal Constitution of 1988. This study will analyze the Bolsa Família Program in the quilombola communities of the Sítio Histórico e Patrimônio Cultural Kalunga (SHPCK) in Cavalcante (GO). The methodological procedures were based on bibliographic research, a collection of primary and secondary data, mapping, field work and semi-structured interviews with quilombola mothers who benefit from the PBF. The results reinforce the importance of income from the program for the quilombola territory, especially in the periods of economic and health crisis. In addition to being responsible for minimizing the conditions of poverty and extreme poverty in these communities, The Program has fulfilled an important objective as a focused income transfer and as an artifice to strengthen the autonomy and conditions of mothers within the family and community. Furthermore, the results reinforce that the capillarity of the Social Status translates into educational, health and family farming policies, as well as through income transfer, constituting an important artifice for strengthening the community and the territoriality of traditional communities.
