Mocambos, Quilombos e Palmares: a resistência escrava no Brasil colonial

Year: 1987

Type: article

Abstract: Slave escapes and fugitive settlements (mocambos) were a constant feature of Brazilian slavery. Many of these communities were located close to plantations and towns and lived by raiding them. In mocambos the culture of Africa and the slave experience in Brazil were often mixed. The term "quilombo" which became a synonym for these encampments refered to an Angolan institution and may have been specifically related to the history of the great community of Palmares.
