As tradições do Moçambique Estrela de Ouro de Itumbiara, Goiás e o ensino de história antirracista

Abstract

The line of research to which this work belongs is entitled 'Historical knowledge in different spaces of memory'. I intend to develop the history of the cultural tradition of the Association of Nossa Senhora do Rosário and São Benedito Congados and Moçambique Estrela de Ouro, from the Parque dos Buritys neighborhood in Itumbiara, Goiás. The research proposal was consolidated during the year 2022, when the Association of Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Benedict Congados and Mozambique Estrela de Ouro of Itumbiara celebrated twenty-four years of congadeira tradition and, in this context, promoted actions to keep Mozambique active and unified, preserving the tradition of faith in Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Benedict. The reactivation of the Estrela de Ouro Mozambique took place after the approval of Law No. 14,017 of June 29, 2020, the Law to Encourage Cultural Movements, entitled the Aldir Blanc Law, which was approved by the National Congress in honor of the artist of the same name, who died of Covid-19. The funding was made available to cultural movements affected by policies of restrictions and social isolation during the pandemic. The aim of this research is therefore to present the trajectory of Mozambique Estrela de Ouro, its creation, its revitalization in the 2020s, ending with the impressions and memories of its members who present us with their perceptions of the value of Mozambique and congado as a space of memory and culture, which has much to contribute to the teaching of history. The research also intends to touch on important points for the theme of black cultures, such as the dismantling of actions in favor of black culture, which resulted, for example, in the dismantling of the Palmares Foundation during the Bolsonaro government, religious intolerance, black resistance in times of adversity and the importance of anti-racist practices in history teaching. As a product of this research, two versions of the didactic sequence will be prepared: one for teachers, as a theoretical methodological guide, and another aimed at students so that they can study and answer questions, developing new knowledge, with a focus on religious tolerance, anti-racist education and combating and confronting racism in the school space
