SILVA, Roseane Amorim da et al. Let's talk?: Stories of young people about the use of alcoholic beverages in quilombola communities. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.2, pp. 263-279. ISSN 1809-8908.

This article is part of the return of the results of a survey conducted in 2013, in two quilombola communities, located in Garanhuns/PE. The research is qualitative and sought to investigate the meanings of alcohol use among the young considering the intersectionality perspective. The devolution was constituted by two stages: in the first, we contacted the young participants of the research and we combined the devolution. Next, we held a workshop and discussed the results of the survey. We addressed issues of gender, social class and race/ethnicity in relation to alcohol consumption by youth in the communities. Participants were very receptive to the results of the research, presented in small story format, and highlighted: the various forms of violence against women in the communities; The use of alcoholic beverages related to the absence of leisure equipment; And the prejudice suffered by being black and/or quilombolas, which gains importance when they circulate in the urban spaces of the city in general and in the school context in particular. These issues call attention to the fact that research and interventions are carried out in the communities, in order to contribute to the confrontation of the various social inequalities that historically have marked the life of the quilombola population.

Keywords : Young people; Quilombolas communities; Alcohol; Intersectionality.
