Abstract

The National Coordination of Articulation of Quilombola Rural Black Communities, Land of Rights, the Association of Rural Workers' Lawyers of Bahia and Collective Joãozinho do Mangal - Legal Advice, in 2018, launched the report Racism and Violence against Quilombos in Brazil with the national and international violations of human rights carried out against quilombolas in Brazil. In addition to the reporting bias, the report contributes to understanding the forms of (re) existence through political and legal mobilizations by rights. The report compiles social, legal, political and cultural memories and struggles developed by quilombola leaders and legal advisors. The identities, ancestralities and territorialities make up a circularity of know-how that demonstrate the relevance of the quilombos' claims to the neocolonial, neoliberal and racist order of society and the Brazilian State. In 2003, Decree 4.887 was promulgated, with the purpose of regulating the constitutional (CRFB / 1988) rights to the territory. The Decree was attacked by the ruralist in 2004 at the Federal Supreme Court, the trial lasted 14 years. In 2018 the STF complied with the thesis of constitutionality defended by the quilombolas.
