Uma história em torno da comunidade do Vale do Amanhecer em Teresina entre 2015-2020

Abstract

This research stemmed from participation as a member of Vale do Amanhecer and the need to understand its history and influence in the city of Teresina between 2015 and 2020. In this sense, this monograph aims to present the main aspects of the Vale do Amanhecer doctrine in the city of Teresina, its influence and consolidation, and its period of greatest fervor. The methodology used was bibliographic research based on the contributions of Marque (2022), Faria (2023), Carvalho (2018), Oliveira (2011), Santos (2016), among others, documentary research based on newspaper clippings, photographs, and consultations in the IPHAN archive, and interviews anchored in the principles of oral history. Vale do Amanhecer in Teresina, throughout difficulties and conflicts, consolidated itself in the city as a syncretic religion influenced by indigenous, African, Christian, and spiritualist cultures.
