Quilombo. Public policy. Culture.

Quilombola communities have been fighting for access to land since the colonization of the Americas in slave-holding Brazil, and especially after the abolition of slavery and the establishment of the Republic. This right had been systematically denied them, or even considered by the elites. In this sense, from a theoretical perspective, the present work points out, with a bibliographic discussion character, some historical and political aspects of the resignification processes through which the quilombos pass.
