Conflict and Resistance: an indigenous woman’s perspectives on the dynamics and consequences of the 2018 internal conflict among the Fulni-ô people
Fulni-ô, conflict and ethnography
This dissertation's central objective is to understand the dynamics of the conflict experienced by the Fulni-ô in recent times, starting in 2018. It intends to follow the discussion of the conflict by mapping the history of the conflict, how it arose and why it continues; by discussing among the Fulni-ô how their lives were affected by this rupture and what conflict resolutions were like in the lives of the Fulni-ô in the past and by analyzing the impact of the conflict on the lives of leaders and children as well. As a starting point, it raises the theme of the colonization of the hegemonic world, which today associates capitalist fronts and their allies in the state, which has intensified the conflicts that mark our socio-cosmology. I understand that conflict is part of Fulni-ô social life, but among our people it has taken on alarming proportions. I am a Fulni-ô researcher and I will carry out an ethnographic study, seeking to immerse myself in the topic that has disrupted the social life of my people.
