Abstract
Desde finais da década de 1980 emergem na
cena política brasileira as comunidades quilombolas,
constituindo-se como novos sujeitos coletivos e grupos
étnicos, como parte de um processo mais amplo de
mobilização de grupos auto-denominados ‘comunidades
tradicionais’. Uma das características distintivas da
emergência etno-política quilombola é o caráter territorial
das lutas, daí que o presente trabalho se proponha
a compreender os processos de territorialização
protagonizados pelas comunidades quilombolas no
Brasil, relacionando três categorias profundamente
imbricadas: identidade étnica, movimento social e lutas
por afirmação territorial. As reflexões teórico-conceituais
são complementadas com um estudo de caso, onde se
expõe o processo vivenciado nos últimos quinze anos
pela comunidade quilombola de Acauã, no Rio Grande do
Norte (RN).
In the late 1980s, the quilombola (or maroon) communities emerged on the Brazilian public scene, establishing themselves as new collective subjects and ethnic groups, inscribed in a broader process of mobilization of the self-denominated ‘traditional communities’. One of the distinguishing characteristics of this quilombola ethno-political emergence is the territorial nature of the struggles, that´s why this work aims to understand the territorialization processes lead by these communities, relating three imbricated categories: ethnic identity, social movement and struggle for territorial affirmation. The theoretic and conceptual reflections are complemented with a case study, exposing the process experienced in the last fifteen years by the maroon community of Acauã in Rio Grande do Norte (RN) .
