Desempenho escolar entre homens negros: histórias sobre escolarização em um quilombo na Amazônia

Abstract

This article aims to present and discuss individual reports on schooling experiences of black men from the Quilombola Community of Juquirizinho, located in Alto Trombetas, close to the city of Oriximiná. Based on my recent memories and based on interviews with black men, I ask a question: What triggered the non-completion of Basic Education by these men? The purpose of this article is to point to some possible reasons described by the black quilombola men interviewed, spotting other indicators within the interviews that directly and indirectly affected the schooling of these men and indicate possibilities for understanding the problem within the context experienced in the community and the individual reality of each one. The search for interviewees was carried out based on my family relationships and friendships. Therefore, there will only be four interviews carried out with black men from the municipality of Oriximiná, from the Juquirizinho community that I will explore in this article.
