Comunidade quilombola de Cacimba Nova, da invisibilidade à visibilidade histórico-política

Abstract

This work has as objective to report the paths travelled by the community of Cacimba Nova in the municipality of São João do Tigre for winning the title of the Quilombola. Based on the documents in reports from the community itself, reports of the Department of Women and Human Diversity, the Federal Public Ministry and even of the activities developed by the Project of Sustainable Development of the Cariri, Seridó and Curimataú; we will have an overview of the steps taken for the community to get the Palmares Cultural Foundation certificate of self-definition Community Remnant of the Quilombos. Once recognized the community shall be the recipient of public policy to address her priority. We have developed the research addressing the policies provided by the Social Agenda Quilombola (SEPPIR, 2013). We conclude that the Community of Cacimba Nova from the registry of your identity is permanently looking for access to public policies that can contribute to better living conditions in the community. We realize that there are many challenges but resistance and courage move them beyond these difficulties.
