Quilombos

39321
Quilombo is the term used to refer to maroon communities in Brazil.  Maroon communities in Brazil were typically made up of formerly enslaved Africans, free Afro-Brazilians, and even other marginalized ethnic groups. What makes quilomobos unique in comparison to maroon communities found throughout the Americas is that quilombos did not cease to exist when slavery was abolished in 1888. There are currently over 3,000 quilombo communities in Brazil today.  In São Paulo, quilombos existed during the slavery period, and today there are urban quilombos that function as cultural and artistic communities that preserve Afro-Brazilian culture.
