“…New fields of work, such as tourism, wage labor, and ease of distributing agricultural products lead communities near roads to adopt a new pattern of subsistence, characterized by smaller involvement with subsistent farming and greater access to foods common in urban areas. These pieces of evidence may be indicative of nutritional transition in this population and thereby, higher food insecurity 3,10,11,34 .…”

Objective: To characterize the nutritional status of quilombola students and determine the food security status of their households. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with students aged six to nineteen years from quilombola communities in twelve municipalities of Goiás categorized by age, gender, school location (urban/rural), and nutritional status based on the World Health Organization's height-for-age and body mass index for-age charts. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale was used for measuring food (in)security in their families. Descriptive and association analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test at a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: In a sample of 226 students, overweight (17.2%) was more common than malnutrition (1.3%), especially in students attending urban schools (28.2%) (p<0.05). Most (75.2%) quilombola families experienced food insecurity, especially mild. Conclusion: The apparent contradiction of excess weight and food insecurity occurring simultaneously indicates the need of revising the study instruments and the causal network that identify poverty.

“…Brazilian studies show that for ecotourism to fulfill its potential socioeconomic impact for rural (Oliveira et al 2010) and rural Afro-Brazilian communities (Cruz and Valente 2005), state and federal government investment is needed to develop social infrastructure and an inclusive ecotourism industry. Without a concerted effort on the part of the state and stakeholders in the ecotourism industry, the full socioeconomic benefits of ecotourism for underserved and often neglected communities will not be realized.…”

The ethnographic study of tourism in Latin America and the Caribbean offers the opportunity to examine the ways that racial ideologies perpetuate social inequality, debunking the myth of racial democracy in countries such as Brazil. In the case of Brogodó, in Bahia, Brazil, structural inequality and racial ideology limit the equal participation of Brazilians of African descent in the local ecotourism industry. This article draws on evidence from ethnographic research to investigate the relationship of structural inequality, racial ideology, and cultural and symbolic capital. In the ecotourism industry, employer discourses emphasizing the limits of local community members’ cultural capital conceal their preference for employees exhibiting both the habitus and phenotypic traits associated with whiteness, reflecting broader social and economic practices that discriminate against African-descendent Brazilians. The ability to naturalize habitus and disguise racial ideology behind discussions of education and qualifications reflects employers’ and members of the dominant classes’ symbolic power.

“…Combinam múltiplas inserções ocupacionais das pessoas que pertencem a uma mesma família e promovem os cuidados com o território, proteção ao meio ambiente, à salvaguarda do capital cultural, à manutenção de um tecido econômico e social rural pela diversificação de novas atividades ligadas à atividade agrícola. Ao longo de sua história, mantiveram estratégias de segurança alimentar que vêm sendo afetadas diretamente por políticas públicas assistencialistas (Cruz, 2005). Já os proprietários do KMJ são profissionais liberais com formação superior e chegaram ao município de Cavalcante à procura de uma região propícia para implantação de um projeto de vida, onde fosse possível garantir a sustentabilidade ambiental, envolvendo os habitantes daquela região, em particular o grupo étnico das comunidades rurais, como é o caso dos kalungas.…”

Apresentam-se os principais resultados e discussões de estudo de caso desenvolvido em Território Kalunga - construído por descendentes de antigos escravos - sobre a situação e perspectivas do comércio justo e solidário naquela localidade, com base na experiência desenvolvida no empreendimento Kalunga Mercado Justo (KMJ), município de Cavalcante (GO). Dentre os resultados, destacam-se: a) os kalungas encontram-se abaixo da linha da pobreza e alguns abaixo da linha de indigência; b) há a necessidade de serem encontradas alternativas de geração de renda para a sobrevivência comunitária; c) o KMJ é um empreendimento voltado para a economia de mercado e está longe de se constituir numa experiência de comércio justo ou comércio ético e solidário; d) o KMJ proporciona uma alternativa para a comercialização dos produtos kalungas e a relação estabelecida com o empreendimento garante um incremento significativo na renda familiar; e) o desafio para a construção de uma nova forma de organizar a produção, a distribuição e o consumo de bens socialmente produzidos, e o exercício de experiências alternativas pode ser enfrentados pelos kalungas, desde que contem com o apoio de políticas públicas que, mesmo universais, não percam de vista as características singulares do grupo étnico.
A presentation of the main results and discussions of a study case carried out in Kalunga territory (built up by former slaves´descendants) on the situation and prospects of fair trade in that site, based on the experiment developed by the Kalunga Fair Market enterprise (KMJ), in the small town of Cavalcante (GO). Here are some of the results we can point out: a) The Kalungas are below poverty level, being part of them below destitution level; b) It´s necessary to find alternatives to generate income for community survival; c) KMJ is an enterprise focused on market economy and is far from being a fair trade experience or ethical solidary trade; d) KMJ poses an alternative for the commercialization of Kalunga products and the relationship set up by the enterprise provides a significant increase of the family income; e) The challenge for the building-up of a new model to organize production, distribution and consumption of socially produced goods, as well as the exercise of alternative experiments can indeed be faced by the Kalungas, provided they have the support of public policies which, universal as they are, don´t fail to regard the unique features of their ethnic group
