Multiterritorialities and spacialities of the quilombola community Vereda dos Anacletos, Esperantina (PI)

Abstract

This research deals with the relationship of territoriality built by the quilombola communities and the organization of their socioproductive spaces, taking into account the historical problems of access to land that mark the landscape structure in Brazil. The small quilombo communities present in the Cocais Territory, in the state of Piauí, reveal in their multiterritoriality and microterritoriality, marks of spatialized temporalities in the forms of access and use of land. From this perspective, the Anacleto Village Community, located in the municipality of Esperantina (PI), where participatory mapping workshops (ACT BRASIL, 2018) involving rural workers in the community were promoted, as well as documentary research and application of questionnaires. The territory of this community is marked by the sociobiodiversity of the carnauba palm, although few residents have access to the carnauba. The results pointed out that land concentration and submission to norms imposed by landowners mark the organization of socioproductive space, with low productivity and little insertion in public policies aimed at strengthening the local economy.
