Abstract
This article describes an exploratory field research conducted in Aldeia Krukutu (Parelheiros-SP), in the Quilombo do Carmo (São Roque-SP) and the Quilombo do Campinho da Independência (Paraty-RJ). We attempted to understand if populations historically excluded as blacks and Indians still perceive themselves as distant from the list of citizenship. Starting at random interviews, we grouped the statements in six categories in association with citizenship: 1) equality, 2) rights, 3) territoriality, 4) bonds with the community, 5) opposition and objections to the city and suffered discrimination, 6) good and bad citizen conceptions. We conclude that perpetuate inequality and moral exclusion of these populations, who suffer prejudice and repeatedly are injured in their human dignity. We understand that respect to their cultures would be the first step towards their integration to citizenship.
