FRANCELINAS: Protagonismos de mulheres ceramistas no Baixo Amazonas, São Tomé do Mocambo do Arari, Parintins-AM

Abstract

The present research seeks to address the social historical process of ceramic making in the community of São Tome in the Mocambo do Arari, which is located in the municipality of Parintins-AM, the left bank of the Amazon River, with access by the Arari parana. This is based on the family life and memory of Mrs. Francelina Pereira, who is 100 years old, and thus shows the process of formation and institutionalization of the community of São Tomé from the perspective of these women. For this purpose, field research and interviews with the Oral History methodology were carried out.
