Summary
Traditional Caiçara communities in the Juatinga Peninsula, Paraty-RJ, face environmental injustice and expropriation, which are exacerbated by systemic social domination. Their struggle for access to school education emerges as a critical component of their resistance, serving as both a means to preserve their cultural identity and a tool to challenge these injustices. The study highlights how education becomes integral to the reproduction of traditional ways of life, positioning it as a focal point in the broader context of environmental justice. By analyzing the interplay between educational access, social domination, and environmental pressures, this research underscores the urgent need for policies that recognize and support the rights of these communities.
