Segregação Socioespacial em São José dos Campos-SP : O Jardim Nova Esperança (Comunidade do Banhado) e as Possibilidades para o Ensino de História

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis aims to critically explore the origins, struggles, and conflicts within the historical process of sociospatial segregation in the city of São José dos Campos, focusing primarily on the central neighborhood of Jardim Nova Esperança. Since its inception, the neighborhood has suffered from segregation driven by the city’s hygienist and sanitizing policies. The research seeks to demonstrate how this topic is addressed in the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), and explores the possibility of incorporating the history of the neighborhood into local Basic Education schools through the use of micro-history and microanalysis. The objective is to highlight this issue and foster discussion among students, encouraging the development of a critical perspective on the use of urban spaces in São José dos Campos. To support the research, a bibliographic review was conducted to present the neighborhood’s history in an interconnected and coherent way with the city’s growth, followed by an analysis of the educational challenges related to teaching this topic in history classes, including its gaps and potential.
