Resumo
The thesis “The Black Sertão of the Gerais” was developed based on a synthesized idea that
considers the quilombo and quilombola women as the research theme and focus, specifically
within the Quilombola Bem Viver territory of Vila Nova dos Poções, located in the rural area
of Janaúba, Minas Gerais. The confluence of academic disciplines, walking through the
sertões, participation in LAGENTE, engagement with Black Feminist Thought, and
encounters with quilombola people during field research culminated in the discursive
structure of this thesis: i) quilombo, territory, geography; and ii) quilombola women and
geography. From this perspective, I aimed to elaborate a geographical approach in dialogue
with the quilombo, focusing on the narrative voices of quilombola women. To achieve this
goal, the following specific objectives were established: i) to understand the formation and
organization process of the Quilombo Bem Viver of Vila Nova dos Poções through dialogue
with elders and community leaders; ii) to present the contributions of Master's and Doctoral
research in Geography on the quilombo/quilombola theme, as well as research focusing on
quilombola women; iii) to analyze the intersections between central themes in Black
Feminist Thought and those highlighted by quilombola women. Methodologically, a
theoretical and epistemological review regarding the research theme and focus was
conducted. Dissertations and theses produced in Brazilian postgraduate programs were
significant for understanding the geographical thought on quilombo studies and quilombola
women. Based on this perspective, a literature review on central themes supported by Black
Feminist Thought—produced by Black and quilombola women—was carried out, alongside
thematic semi-structured interviews. The understanding of the formation and organization
of the Quilombo Bem Viver of Vila Nova dos Poções is associated with the memory and
orality of the quilombola people, particularly their self-recognition as the Gurutubano
people, due to their way of life established along the banks of the Gorutuba River. In the
present day, certification from the Palmares Cultural Foundation (FPC) reinforces the
Gurutubano people's self-definition as quilombola. Throughout the research journey and
established dialogues, understandings were constructed regarding the inseparability of
religious rituals and cultural rites, with particular emphasis on religious celebrations and the
Rodas de Batuque. The sense of belonging demonstrated profound ties to water, especially
through ways of life related to the Gorutuba River and Lagoa Grande. In all the central
themes presented in the thesis, the narrative voices and existences of quilombola women
were evoked with the strength of their words and presence. In this context, I emphasize
education as an ancestral movement within the quilombo. The women of the Quilombo Bem
Viver of Vila Nova dos Poções have built an ancestral movement that now inspires the
territory's struggles for the implementation of Quilombola School Education based on a
sense of belonging.
