Veredas do pertencimento ao Povo do Gerais: roça, religião e mobilização étnica em movimento

This article intends to analyze how the sentiment of belonging to Gerais Velho, a black rural community in the backlands of Minas Gerais, enfolds land, religion and black identity through the roaming of their inhabitants. Stemming from an ethnographic perspective, it uses the movements of the Gerais Velho inhabitants to shift the idea of belonging from the analytic frames of fixation, common in the treatment of identities. Thus, it traces the pathways by which autonomy and liberty make sense to a life experienced as mobility.Keywords: belonging; farm; religion; blackness; mobility.BENITES, Luiz Felipe Rocha.
