Description
Summary:The neighborhoods Downtown and Cidade Alta, in Novo Brazil/PA, in the Amazon, are separated by a slope and by a stigma built in the municipality that considers Cidade Alta a violent place. By means of semi-structured interviews and conversations with the residents of Cidade Alta, in this paper we aim to appreciate the educational and identity aspects of the neighborhood, in a municipality originated by a project of the Brazilian dictatorship that aimed to occupy the Amazon. The residents' memories make it possible to understand the narratives and the social dynamics of the neighborhood, beyond the stereotypes.
