PANORAMA GEOHISTÓRICO DOS QUILOMBOS NO BRASIL: NOTAS PARA (RE)PENSAR A FORMAÇÃO TERRITORIAL BRASILEIRA

Abstract

His article will discuss the discussions involving the geohistorical of the quilombola issue and its relationship with the formation of the Brazilian territory, highlighting the situational processes of the construction of its own and autonomous territorial organizations in the midst of a colonial and slave society that was forged among the 16th and 19th centuries. The analysis critically recovers and seeks to reflect the possibility of a reinterpretation of the formation of the clumsy groups and their multiple r-existences, inferring black spellings and spatialities in the trajectory of Brazil. From the perspective of Geography, the territory and the multiple black territorialities of an Afro-Brazilian matrix promote an analytical-conceptual and practical-constructive shift in the human sciences and in the re-semantics of the understanding of contemporary quilombos. Thus, to speak of this Geohistory is to speak of the construction of Brazil, with all the contradictions, (dis) continuities, ruptures and permanences.
