RELAÇÕES RACIAIS NA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA MACACO BRANCO: RESISTÊNCIA NEGRA EM MEIO A CONFLITOS TERRITORIAIS E ONTOLÓGICOS.

This paper refers to an ethnography made in the Macaco Branco quilombola community, located in the city of Portão, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The objective of the research was to understand how race relations are connected with territorial conflicts that mark the history of the community. Starting from a contextualization of the quilombo within the paradigm of colonial modernity, a distinct ontology is identified within the community, which does not separate nature and culture, maintaining a collective way of being in the territory, which has historically resisted the invisibility imposed by a racist society.
