SUMMARY:

This thesis describes the process of appointing a transgender woman as a quilombola community leader. Inspired by ethnographic methods, the study is based on the history, narrative, and life trajectory of Jade Lopes, a Black trans woman leader of the Surubiu-Açú quilombo in the Lower Amazon region, in Santarém, Pará, Brazil. At 56 years old, Jade serves as the head of the local community association and the president of the men's soccer team "Beira Rio." She is also renowned in the region for her healing practices. In 2016, upon learning about the existence of a transgender woman living in a quilombo and participating in local political negotiations, I formulated the following questions: How did Jade's integration into the quilombo's community forum and the recognition of her political legitimacy as a leader occur? How is the community internally organized? How does it interact with Jade's transgender identity? Specifically, I examine the interrelationship of community ties in this process of action, appointment, and political recognition of a trans figure within the internal deliberations that shape the life of a collective subject. Engaging with the ideas of Rita Segato and other decolonial thinkers, I argue that by integrating herself into the internal forum of Surubiu-Açú and being appointed to represent it as a leader, Jade experiences the first fundamental right of a person: belonging to a people, to a collective. The research included three fieldwork periods in the quilombo: in December 2020 and in June and October 2021. The study faced communication challenges due to limited access to communication tools and, particularly, the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these limitations, I maintained continuous contact via phone and messaging apps from June 2020 onward, prior to visiting the quilombo. Community engagement involved participant observation, partially recorded open interviews, and informal interactions in daily life, all documented in field diaries
