| Abstract | |
This research main objective was to analyze the rise of private schools in the suburbs of São Paulo city, mainly in East Zone. It aimed to articulate both dimensions of the object private schools and suburbs in order to contribute to the education field and urban studies. Quantitative data about the foundation year of these private schools was provided by São Paulo States Education Secretariat, which was used to build maps through geoprocessing and to verify their rise in space and time. We voted for the conceptualization of coloniality of power in Brazil as an explanatory matrix with the goal of analyzing private schools roles in power structures and to justify their presence in East Zone throughout the 20th century. On one hand, it meant consider the existence of a social hierarchy based on race, which has been constructed since the colonial period and separates privileged sectors in work and control through formal private education as a material and symbolic mechanism of access. On the other hand, we investigated the East Zones stigma, which characterizes the suburb as poor and violent and, therefore, as a public schools exclusively locus. The thesis supported is that the settlement of private schools is concomitant with the east suburbs formation, started in the beginning of the 20th century, which reveals that many private initiative actors have been present in the production configuration of the suburb space.
