O PROCESSO DE TERRITORIALIZAÇÃO DO QUILOMBO DO ROSA, AMAPÁ, BRASIL.

This paper discusses the recent processes of territorialization and identity recognition of the Rosa community at the beginning of the 21st century. The objective of the research is to understand its process of self-identification as a quilombola remnant and the specific territorialization engendered by this identification. The methodology is based on Historical Ethnography, with fieldworks in the community from 2017 to 2019. The results indicate that the territorialization process triggered by the Rosa community is a global transformation process of multiple dimensions. It includes self-demarcation actions, such as the action to expel the mining company from its territory; multi-territoriality actions, such as the actions led by members of the community in deliberative instances of the instituted political power; it includes access to citizenship through the legal support provided by the State; it encompasses ethnogenesis, as self-recognition as quilombola; and actions that imply strengthening territoriality.
