“Só não dê motivo pro povo falar de você”: a visão da homossexualidade em aldeias do Litoral Norte da Paraíba

Abstract

This research was developed in Paraíba northern coast, in order to comprehend how moral issues were presented in the social relations between the residents of that region, whom are mostly indigenous. This article articulates these factores with hommosexual questions, trying to describe how it happens in the relationship between the local residents and non-residents who are openly homossexual. It was considered as extremely relevant, this investigation on how the process of colonization interfered in morality, sexuality and the way of living of the indigenous populations, contextualizing these factors with the historical path lived by the natives in the Northeast of Brazil, using as base theory from Fredrik Barth, João P. de Oliveira and recently Luiz Mott; I sought to know more about the relationship between homosexual boys and other residents, since they belong to the group and coexist with this morality routinely, emphasizing the daily life of the group and the interlocutors in order to better describe and finally to point out the characteristics of this group relation.
