This research aims to bring a contribution to the emerging and expanding field called quilombola education from three issues main that are interwoven throughout the text. The first one refers to a detailed description of the relationship between jongo and the construction and affirmation of identity on the quilombola community of Santa Rita do Bracuí, which is accomplished by describing the major internal and external agents that influenced this process, as well as the educational practices linked to it. The second question, as an extension of the first, brings the concepts of corporeality, performance and body memory to make considerations about the function of the body, as a product and producer of culture, in the reassertion identity, since the practice of jongo presupposes a body knowledge specific. The third of them concerns an analysis of the role that the jongo could assume to be incorporated into the quilombolas schools surveyed by means of two differentiated analysis: education focused on diversity expressed by the implementation of the law 10.639/03; differentiated education which conceives the school as an extension of the community’s political project. The development of the research occurs in interface of anthropology with education and the theoretical-methodological option for the development of fieldwork was ethnography combined with in-depth interviews. From the research initiated in the quilombola community of Santa Rita do Bracuí, community of resistance jongueira in the city of Angra dos Reis (Rio de Janeiro), perceives the creation of a rescue network of jongo in the South Fluminense, where several communities that no longer danced, or even have never danced, start to invent it as a way to express both for others as for themselves their adherence to quilombola movement and struggle for differentiated public policies. However, each one resignifies jongo as their way, which occurs both by the social function that it assumes such as on the corporeality express by the different performances possible for it. Differentiated formation provided by jongo transforms into a political tool among young jongueiros and junior jongueiros, that start to dance in a presentation format. As a result of this formation, we realized a breakthrough in relation to political visibility and dialogue with the public authorities, including in the context of education. In this context, one of the quilombolas s demands becomes the incorporation of the jongo by the school, wich brings grants for a reflection about which school education quilombola would be this that, despite already being guaranteed by specific educational policies, still has very little or anything of quilombola in the empirical field.
