SUMMARY:

The municipality of Garanhuns, located in the countryside of Pernambuco, has in its history the mark of the struggle trajectory of the black people, who were enslaved, but who also resisted and continue to resist in their different modes of political organization. This city is located in a region where there are six quilombos, and in all of them there are quilombola associations, necessary spaces to enable their rights. The quilombola community of Caluete is popularly known as the only one in which its leader is a woman. She is the one who presides over her association, and other women also occupy the majority of positions on its board. However, in this context there are strong expressions of the coloniality of power and gender, which result in invisibility and difficulties in organizing and mobilizing these women in their work. It is from this problem that this research took place, in an attempt to understand how the political organization of quilombola women in the Caluete community is constituted, in the context of their association, through articulations with feminist and decolonial epistemologies. The main objective of the research is to understand how the political participation of quilombola women is constituted in the context of the Caluete Quilombola Association. As specific objectives we propose: a) understanding resistance practices in the process of women's political participation in the context of the association through their narratives; and, b) analyze how their political participation crosses and mobilizes family, community and institutional spaces. This is qualitative research, from a narrative research perspective, which, based on the participants' suggestions, used storytelling as a participatory tool to build understandings about their struggles as quilombola women in their political, traditional and associative organizations. Quilombola women participated, who are part of the Quilombola Association of Caluete, as associates or with directorship and presidency positions. We constructed narratives between researcher and participants, affirming the history of the black population in the mentioned territory, and how this history is constantly denied and silenced. Together with the women of Quilombo de Caluete, it was possible to understand in their unique, collective and territorialized experiences, that these are the protagonists of sustaining life in their community. Through their work in different forms of political organization, along with their constructions of maintaining collective memories, their traditional ways of care and celebrations with their people.
