| Sumario: | The article studies the narratives about the past of Caiana dos Crioulos, one of the remaining quilombo communities of the Paraiba State marshes, in the city of Grande Alagoa. Notably, are recorded the memories of local inhabitants regarding the formation of their community and of other remote periods of their trajectory as a group, such as the violence of the “old times” – slavery and post-abolition periods – as told by the “elders.” Such representations concerning the past history of this community are cross examined with those primarily from the mid-20th century, by citizens of the surrounding society such as journalists and politicians, as well as, from the Nineties, by members of this very own group, when the Quilombola identity was being affirmed and their identity and past begun to be (re)signified. |
