Paths and seeds in the Cerrado of Goiás: land and food in the quilombos Fazenda Canabrava, Baco Pari, Extrema and Povoado Levantado
Quilombola communities. Food. Culture. Northeastern Goiás
The study highlights the struggle for land and its relationship with eating habits and cultural practices in northeastern Goiás in four quilombos: Fazenda Canabrava (Flores Velha), Baco Pari, Extrema and Povoado Levantado. From a partnership in an interinstitutional project, semi-structured interviews, informal conversations and field observation were used. The work permeates the role of the State before black communities and quilombola territories, problematizing certain actions. In understanding the indissociation between the environmental and social issues, food is the guiding thread and sought to analyze the histories, paths, cultures and uses of land in the cerrado biome of quilombola communities.
