| Resumo: | This dissertation study aims to analysis the caxixós from Capão do Zezinho sociocultural processes of aboriginal ethnicity construction. Inhabitants of the banks of the Pará river, in the center-west region of Minas Gerais, the caxixós have an image that in nothing resembles the stereotypical image of indian (naked bodies, exotic language, black and smooth hair, inhabitants of the forests, etc). Inhabitants of masonry houses, Portuguese language speakers, catholics, agricultural rural workers, the caxixós have a way of life is not contrasted, at first sight, to the regional way of life. In order to have the Brazilian Government approval of the caxixós aboriginal ethnic identity, it had to be done three anthropologic appraisals. In a singular way, this case intensified the already passionate and spreading debate (political and academic) about who are the aboriginal peoples in contemporary Brazil and about who has the power to identify them . Based on data from ethnographic fieldwork and historical-documental research, this dissertation analyze how the caxixós from Capão do Zezinho elaborate its aboriginal identification and establishes its boundaires, as they do not show an indian look . This research also made possible to discuss how the common sense ideas build the aboriginal condition. For accomplishment of the analysis, this study relied on the caxixó historical experience and social memory, as well as on anthropological thinking about ethnicity. In short, this dissertation reflects about the developing construction process of the caxixó ethnic project and also allows a view on the context of being Indian in the threshold of XXI century in Brazil |
