THE PROCESS OF LAND REGULARIZATION OF QUILOMBOLAS LANDS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS

Abstract

The land tenure regularization of lands belonging to the remaining quilombo communities is a controversial issue involving political and social interests that directly affect their citizens who have been / are historically excluded from government actions. The choice to investigate the process of regularizing quilombola lands in the State of Tocantins was due to the fact that this regularization happened through many conflicts over the land. The territorial implications are implicit in the clash between the weakest side of this dispute, which are the quilombolas and the landowners who try at all costs to dislodge the landlords. Equating, studying and producing reflections on these problems may perhaps contribute to enrich the discussion of the processes of land regularization of quilombola lands. In view of this problem, a qualitative research was carried out that aimed to analyze the process of land regularization of quilombola lands in the State of Tocantins and its territorial implications. For the theoretical discussion about the land regularization of quilombola lands, bibliographical sources were used, such as Maestri (2005), Santos (2013); Fiabani (2005), INCRA (2020) among others.
