Saberes de mulheres quilombolas: invernada dos negros (SC)

Abstract

The present monograph aims to explore the traditional knowledge of women from the quilombola community of Invernada dos Negros, Estate of Santa Catarina, in a round of conversation held on February 18th and 19th, 2023. Guided by the question of which knowledge these women keep and maintain, the research about the knowledge of quilombola women based on their own testimonies remains an underexplored field within History, especially concerning the Invernada dos Negros community. Using the methodology of rounds of conversation, the intention is to establish a horizontal and collaborative dialogue where all participants can show their perspectives and experiences, valuing the understanding of the community's traditional knowledge. This work recalls memories, empowers, and strengthen voices that have long been silenced, paving the way for a more inclusive historical construction with justice. In this dialogue, the intersectional perspective of gender and race in the context of post-abolition, through Social History, assisted us in the description and analysis of the testimonies. By proposing greater visibility for these women and highlighting their protagonism, this work contributes with enriching the understanding of local and regional history.
