Abstract

We analyze how the quilombola movements of Salvaterra articulate themselvesthrough networking, both internally and externally, to access socio-territorial rights. To trace the network, we depart from the Quilombola community of Pau Furado, in the municipality of Salvaterra, on the Island of Marajó (PA), to Malungu, a statewide organization that joins the quilombola associations of the state of Pará. The investigation relied on the theoretical works of Alberto Melucci and Ilse Scherer-Warren. The field research, carried out in the Pau Furado community, used direct observations and interviews. The results show the strengthening of the institutionalities of the Quilombola social movements to claim their rights before governmental agencies, at the local, state and national levels.
Keywords: social movements; fight for rights; networks; quilombola communities; Marajó Island.
