Abstract

Quilombola School Education is based on principles that aim to value and recognize the identity, history and cultural practices of quilombola communities. Therefore, the presente study aimed to analyze whether the educational policies directed to Quilombola education in the Jenipapo community in the city of Caxias are effective and contribute to strengthening the identity of the group. For this, the methodological steps followed to carry out the research were: bibliographic and field research, through interviews with community members and through participant observation. The study starts from the debate about the political mobilizations around quilombola communities and their contributions to the establishment of quilombola rights, to the identification of policies and affirmative actions, followed by the observation of the data collected to ascertain the effectiveness of educational policies.
