A influência etnocultural no exercício da assessoria de gestão na comunidade quilombola de Santiago do Iguape

Abstract

This work analyzes the influence of ethnoculture on the exercise of management advisory in the quilombola community of Santiago do Iguape, located in the Recôncavo Baiano, Brazil. With deep roots in the resistance to slavery, the community carries a rich cultural and social heritage that significantly impacts its management and development practices. The research explores the specific challenges faced by the community, such as the struggle for land regularization, limited access to essential services, and socioeconomic barriers. Management advisory is proposed as a strategic tool to strengthen community organization, integrating cultural values and traditional practices with modern management methodologies. Strategies such as participatory planning, solidarity economy, and the valorization of local culture are highlighted as essential for promoting sustainable development and preserving quilombola identity. In conclusion, the study argues that an ethnoculturally sensitive approach is crucial to ensuring the inclusion, empowerment, and resilience of quilombola communities, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and strengthening.
