THE TRADITIONAL PEOPLE OF TERREIROS AND THE GOVERNMENT PUBLIC POLICIES IN VIEW OF THE ASCENSION OF NEOPENTECOISTALS TO ELECTIVE POSITIONS IN BRAZIL.

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze some of the advances and setbacks regarding public policies aimed at the traditional peoples of the terreiro, having as a parameter the Multi-Year Plans of (2016-2019) and (2020-2023), the laws enacted in that period that enforced rights and guarantees. We emphasize that in 2016 there was a greater representation of the Evangelical group in elected positions, and this has a direct impact on the way in which government actions are directed. In addition, we will show the narratives of people from terreiros in the face of this political situation in the country and how this impacted religious freedom and the daily struggle for their rights to be respected. Therefore, both a quantitative and a qualitative approach is necessary for further elucidation of the subject, bearing in mind that such methods are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. Minayo (2001), states that qualitative research manages to answer certain particular questions that cannot be quantified, working with the universe of meanings, motives, aspirations and beliefs, values ​​and attitudes, entering a deeper process and phenomena that cannot be reduced to the operationalization of variables. In this sense, both document analysis and narratives are important to demonstrate that government actions do not always seek to reduce social inequalities, and recognize the importance of traditional peoples in the construction of the country.

Keywords: terreiro peoples, advances, setbacks.
