Resumo
The main objective of this thesis is to analyse through a study case how the issue of 'intergrupal prejudice' can be identified in the historical development of small Brazilian municipalities. The central object chosen was Cachoeira da Prata town’s history of memory and it was searched to debate how the social differentiation process of the small community founded by the ex-slave Nicolau Teixeira took place in relation to the rest of the town. Therefore, the thesis was divided into two parts. The first is formed by the first three chapters in which it is presented the industrial village of Cachoeira de Macacos as the scenario where Commander Américo Teixeira is identified as the major leader of a political and industrial domination project that left lengthy footprints in the memory of the town’s oldest population. In this context, it was searched to debate how the post-emancipation of slavery phenomena happened in the locality, analyzing part of the ex-slave Nicolau Teixeira life’s trajectory, a loyal supporter of the Commander Américo political project that became in mid 20th century the patricarch of a community founded in the vicinity of the old industrial village. The second part, it is exclusively based on the fourth chapter in which is debated in a combined way the history of the social differentiation of the community and the different political and methodological positions that were adopted throughout the research. Thereafter the analysis, it was concluded that is only possible to understand the process meanders that took Nicolau Teixeira’s descendents to the condition of social exclusion after they were identified as capable actors to elaborate representations and narratives that help the population of Cachoeira da Prata to know 'another side' of the local history.
