O cotidiano das famílias pertencentes à comunidade remanescente de quilombo que aderem as denominações pentecostais

Abstract

This study is the result of the Supervised Mandatory Internship (ESO) linked to the SISAN project Universities UFRPE - UFPB - UFRN. During the internship, it was possible to approach the quilombola communities in the state of Pernambuco. It was possible to observe the presence of Pentecostal denominations in them, as well as the adhesion of several families to these denominations. These situations contributed to the awakening of the research problem: what leads the families of the remaining quilombo community of the Southern Forest of Pernambuco to choose the Pentecostal religion? The general objective is to analyze the implications of Pentecostalism in the daily dynamics of the remaining quilombo families in a municipality of Mata Sul in the state of Pernambuco. The specific objectives were to trace the socio-economic profile of the families, to identify religious expressions in the community, and to make an analysis of the reasons that lead these families to link themselves to Pentecostal religions. For this purpose, qualitative methodology was used, with interviews in the communities of quilombo remnants of the Southern forest of the state of Pernambuco, data collection, bibliographic research, and on-site observation. At the end of the research, it was verified the existence of more than one Pentecostal denomination in the community, besides, that the members of the community adopted these denominations as a way to express their religiosity and that this adhesion has implications in their daily lives.
