Palavras chave: comunidades negras rurais, infancia, memória social, transmissâo intergeracional ABSTRACT Intergenerational transmission plays an important role in the maintenance of social memory of black rural communities, in the transmission of knowledge and tradition that characterize its relation with the ethnic and racial territory. ...we will discuss the results of an extension activity, in which were realized semi-structured interviews with nine habitants of the community, as well as workshops with around thirty children and young people. The children, in their turn, demonstrated appropriation and the ability to update these narratives, something we observed in their conversations, games and drawings. Keywords: black rural communities, childhood, intergenerational transmission, social memory Neste artigo analisamos a transmissao intergeracional de narrativas sobre o território e o papel das crianças na preservaçao da memória social, a partir de um projeto de extensao realizado com crianças e jovens moradores da comunidade negra rural de Cafuringa, em Campos dos Goytacazes (RJ, Brasil).
