TACTICAL PLANNING IN QUILOMBOLA COMMUNITY LIBRARIES

an exploratory study

Abstract

Community libraries, especially in quilombola territories, are configured as spaces of resistance, memory preservation, and citizenship promotion. Inserted in contexts of informational and cultural exclusion, they play a fundamental role in valuing ancestral knowledge and strengthening ethno-racial identity. This article presents a tactical plan proposal for the Quilombola Community Library, conceived as a fictional scenario for academic and methodological purposes. The main objective is to propose cultural actions that integrate reading, collective memory, community participation, and preservation of quilombola traditions, thus strengthening social protagonism. The methodology is based on bibliographic research and a qualitative approach, associated with the construction of a propositional model grounded in participatory practices and strategic planning adapted to the community context. The results materialize in action axes that include the valorization of ancestral knowledge, reading promotion, cultural identity strengthening, rights education, and local team training. The plan seeks to address challenges identified in the literature (such as lack of resources, absence of technical training, and invisibility of local narratives) through collective and adaptable strategies. It is concluded that Sankofa can serve as a replicable model, capable of inspiring public policies and strengthening community library networks, reaffirming their role as instruments of resistance, education, and cultural rights building.
