The sea became sertão: the transposition of the São Francisco River and the quilombola community of Santana
Keywords:
public policies, quilombola communities, sustainable developmentAbstract
The main objective of this article is to shed light on the interrelation between public policies aimed at quilombola (Brazilian black rural) communities and Brazilian State development imperatives. With this article, I would like to focus on the nature and breath of the conflicts resulting from the struggle between these public policies, based on the conclusions of the case study of the transposition of the São Francisco river at the quilombola community of Santana, located at the municipality of Salgueiro, Pernambuco. All in all, I present some evidences which corroborate the hypothesisthat the orientation of Brazilian State development imperatives are contradictory to that of the public policies aimed at the quilombola communities. Even though these conclusions do not constitute a infallible proof of the unsustainability of the development policy when contrasted broadly to the public policy aimed at the quilombola communities, the analysis offers subsidies to coax a deeper reflection about the thematic, both within and outside government.Downloads
