A autoaceitação na contrução do ser negro no bairro EXPOAGRA da cidade de Grajaú - MA

Abstract

RESUMO: O processo de construção da identidade é desenvolvido dentro das relações e do convívio social, no diálogo, na cultura, durante toda a nossa vida, por esse motivo, a identidade negra também é estabelecida a partir destes quesitos. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como as pessoas negras se percebem e quais as dificuldades e os conflitos de resistência e existência desta população do município de Grajaú - MA na atualidade, especificamente no bairro Expoagra. Além disso, busco também averiguar como a pessoa negra se mostra dentro da sociedade, se tratando de identidade, bem como ela se vê e se impõe; Compreender o processo de resistência, como negro, dentro do convívio histórico, social e cultural; bem como entender a perspectiva atual de determinados conceitos e preconceitos ao negro no bairro Expoagra. A pesquisa ocorreu com oito integrantes moradores do bairro Expoagra, na cidade de Grajaú - Maranhão, com a faixa etária de 23 a 68 anos, na forma de questionário, bem como, em conversas formais e informais. Com base nos dados que foram coletados e analisados pude perceber que ainda existe um grande receio, ou até mesmo uma falta de conhecimento, por parte de muitos sobre o que é a cultura negra, bem como, sobre os processos históricos. Além disso, há muitos preconceitos arraigados, o que dificulta o conhecimento da cultura e, consequentemente, a construção de sua própria identidade.___ABSTRACT: The process of identity construction is developed within relationships and social interaction, in dialogue, in culture, throughout our lives, for this reason, black identity is also established based on these issues. Given this, the present work aims to analyze how black people perceive themselves and what are the difficulties and conflicts of resistance and existence of this population in the municipality of Grajaú - MA today, specifically in the Expoagra neighborhood. Furthermore, I also seek to find out how a black person shows themselves within society, when it comes to identity, as well as how they see themselves and impose themselves; Understand the process of resistance, as a black person, within the historical, social and cultural context; as well as understanding the current perspective of certain concepts and prejudices towards black people in the Expoagra neighborhood. The research took place with eight members living in the Expoagra neighborhood, in the city of Grajaú - Maranhão, aged between 23 and 68 years old, in the form of a questionnaire, as well as in formal and informal conversations. Based on the data that was collected and analyzed, I could see that there is still a great reception, or even a lack of knowledge, on the part of many about what black culture is, as well as about historical processes. Furthermore, there are many deep-rooted prejudices, which make it difficult to understand the culture and, consequently, to build your own identity.__ABSTRACT The process of identity construction is developed within relationships and social interaction, in dialogue, in culture, throughout our lives, for this reason, black identity is also established based on these issues.
