Abstract

The aim of this article, based on a brief historical and theoretical review, is to highlight the different conceptions of the Quilombo category over the years in Brazil. Some legal, social and political advances were achieved due to the struggles of the social and black movements in the country, when the communities were present in the Brazilian government agenda, from the recognition of the definitive ownership of the lands that were occupied by their remnants, guaranteed by the 1988 Constitution - Article 68 of the Transitory Constitutional Provisions Act (ADCT), thus constituting a quilombola social agenda, having its institutionalization through the creation of the Secretariat for Policies for the Promotion of Racial Equality (SEPPIR) and the National Council of Promotion of Racial Equality, both in 2003. We thus present the arguments around memory, uses and meanings of history and legislation on quilombos.
