Juventude rural e escolarização: da negação de direitos às possibilidades de resistência na Chapada do Apodi-Ceará

Abstract

<jats:p>Rural youth is the focus of this study, with spatial focus on young people from communities located in Chapada do Apodi, especially in the municipalities of Limoeiro do Norte and Quixeré. The research aimed to analyze the challenges of schooling the youth of Chapada do Apodi, in the aspects of access and permanence, as well as to discuss the possibilities of resistance that are built in Chapada do Apodi. The study was divided into two moments: the first discusses the categories territory, rural education and rural youth, articulating them to the context in focus. The second part deals with field research, in which young people from Chapada do Apodi, enrolled or not in high school, were interviewed. The research made it possible to learn about their schooling trajectories, marked sometimes by discontinuity, sometimes by staying in school, allowing to reflect that the context denies this right to several subjects. However, resistance experiences are gradually built in Chapada, which stimulate the redesign of this scenario. Finally, we consider the Jaguaribana Agricultural Family School Zé Maria do Tomé, focused on the formation of rural youth in the region, as an experience that illustrates the political-educational praxis that arises from the resistance of individuals, movements and social collectives.</jats:p>

“…Ainda, nessas trajetórias os jovens constroem identidades que diante de um contexto de invisibilidades, caracteriza-se como um desafio de acordo com Almeida et. al.…”

Acampamento Zé Maria do Tomé: lutas sócio-ambientais e saberes que se constroem na Chapada do Apodi – CE

“…Lócus desta investigação, a Chapada do Apodi, situada na divisa dos estados do Ceará e Rio Grande do Norte, vem sendo palco de confrontos entre pequenos agricultores e latifundiários de fruticultura com fins de exportação. Estas empresas de monocultivo adentraram à Chapada munidas da narrativa da geração de empregos e desenvolvimento, contudo, sua chegada ocasionou a apropriação de terras e da água das comunidades, mediante políticas públicas de favorecimento ao grande capital agrícola implementadas pelo estado (Almeida et al, 2020).…”
