Dear Readers,

We gladly present the first special edition of the ABPN's journal, composed of the Thematic Journal - Traditional Knowledge, organized by Prof. Carlos Benedito Rodrigues da Silva (UFMA). The proposition of Thematic Journal materializes the action plan of Dandaras Board of Directors that seeks to promote multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary actions in the formation of researchers and production of knowledge, as well as stimulate the collaboration among researchers of different areas to perform work and formation that consider pluriepistemes and encourage dialogue with traditional knowledge. 

Publishing the Thematic Dossiers in the ABPN's journal promotes multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary actions in the formation of researchers and production of knowledge, as well as fostering the collaboration between different areas, carrying out efforts and formations that consider the pluriepistemes and encourage the dialogue with traditional knowledge.

This Thematic Journal Traditional Knowledge, aims at identifying academic productions resulting from dialogues of intellectuals of several areas of knowledge with social movements, quilombolas representations and African religions, communities that keep traditional knowledge, recognizing and valuing its historical contributions to national culture,

We thank the organizers, collaborators, peer reviewers, authors, translators, editors, secretary, Editorial Board, Consultative Board, Direction and other team members and partners who enabled the publication of this special edition, as well as every researcher. Our sincere thanks to all who contribute to the ABPN's journal!
