Half Indians, Half Black: Ethnicity and Poverty in Rio de Contas
Rio de Contas, Alto Sertão, original peoples, ethnic identity
This dissertation aims to know when and how the Afro-indigenous ethnic issue became visible in the municipality of Rio de Contas (South of Chapada Diamantina). The pandemic scenario prevented the completion of the local fieldwork, although some data was collected. Therefore, it was decided to adjust the methodology, retreating in the use of the methods, techniques and procedures of the field initially foreseen and conducting a vast bibliographic review on the occupation of the region under study, through which a relationship between territory, memory and village was found and a counterpoint between race and ethnicity.
