description This article aims to analyze the educational practices that emerge from conflict situations in which ancestry and the right to the quilombola territory are appreciated. From the narratives of the residents of the Barreiros de Itaguaçu community with regard to the conditions of retrenchment of their traditional territory, we wanted to contribute—through the production of knowledge about the environmental racism experienced by the community—with the hope of increasing its visibility in places where the different axes ofcoloniality do not allow it. Living together within the community revealed that the residents create resistance strategies to fight the process of occupation of their territory. This idea of resistance that we describe here is not limited exclusively to the defense of the territory, it also refers to the defense of the ways of survival and to the defense of the community way of life, which evinces the quilombola identity. This context of community resistance is considered as a universe of tensions and diverse problems engendered by the worldwide colonial system, based on the different faces of coloniality, from where the quilombolacommunity-produced knowledges emerge, which query other ways of appropriating nature.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las prácticas educativas que emergen de las situaciones de conflicto en las que se da valor a la ancestralidad y al derecho al territorio quilombola. A partir de las narrativas de los habitantes de la comunidad de Barreiros de Itaguaçu frente a las situaciones que reducen su territorio tradicional, nació el deseo de contribuir —a través de la producción de conocimiento sobre el racismo ambientalexperimentado por la comunidad— con la esperanza de aumentar su visibilidad en un espacio donde los diferentes ejes de la colonialidad no lo permiten. La convivencia en la comunidad mostró que los residentes crean estrategias de resistencia para combatir el proceso de ocupación de sus territorios. Esta idea de resistencia que hemos descrito no se limita exclusivamente a la defensa del territorio; también hace referencia a la defensa de las formas de supervivencia y del estilo de vida comunitario que evidencian la identidad quilombola. Este contexto de resistencia de la comunidad se considera un universo de tensiones y múltiples problemas originados en el sistema colonial mundial, basado en las diferentes caras de la colonialidad, de donde emergen los saberes producidos en la comunidad quilombola que cuestionan otras formas de apropiación de la naturaleza. Neste artigo pretende-se analisar as práticas educativas que emergem das situações de conflito nas quais valoriza-se a ancestralidade e o direito ao território quilombola. A partir das narrativas dos moradores da comunidade de Barreiros de Itaguaçu frente às condições de cerceamento ao seu território tradicional, nasceu o desejo de contribuir — por meio da produção de conhecimento sobre o racismo ambiental vivenciado pela comunidade — na esperança de aumentar sua visibilidade num espaço onde os diversos eixos da colonialidade não permitem. A convivência na comunidade mostrou que os moradores criam estratégias de resistência para combater o processo de ocupação de seus territórios. Essa ideia de resistência que descrevemos não se limita exclusivamente à defesa do território, mas também diz respeito a defesa das formas de sobrevivência e do modo de vida comunitária que evidenciam a identidade quilombola. Esse contexto de resistência da comunidade considera-se um universo de tensões e múltiplas problemáticas originadas no sistema mundo-colonial, assentado nas diferentes faces da colonialidade, de onde emergem os saberes produzidos na comunidade quilombola que questionam outros modos de apropriação da natureza.
