Abstract

The maroon communities keep alive, even today, centenary practices brought by their ancestors from Africa. These practices, besides cultural, relate to the religiosity , politics and forms of production, involving agricultural techniques, forms of soil management, planting forms, becoming in an intimate relationship of these communities with the environment in which they are inserted, starting from the development of conservationist techniques and rational use of natural resources, thus ensuring the maintenance of biodiversity for the benefit of future generations. Their achievements had passed automatically for a period of democratization of the country in which the black movement and leaderships of Quilombolas communities had intensified the fight for rights that would guarantee citizenship to these communities. The aim of this paper is to analyze the achievements that occurred from these movements that ensured the beginning of their rights when involved in the process of elaboration of the Constitution of 1988, they ensured the right to preserve their identity and culture, as well as the right of title deed of occupied lands by several years by a people who was opposed to the slave regime and formed a new model of society and social relations.
