• Abstract:

  This paper analyzes the quilombo of Juçatuba, which today is looking for alternatives to live with the departure of its residents, given that the quilombo's residents make a commuter migration every day, since this spatial cutout is susceptible to the evasion of its residents, because it is close to a large center - São Luís - MA. It is from this perspective that we must discuss territoriality in quilombola territory and the forms of resistance in this territory, such as the struggle for land, which is being taken over by the process of accelerated urbanization on the large island of Maranhão, and this has changed and interfered in the quilombo's social and cultural processes. The community is located twenty-seven kilometers from the city of São José de Ribamar, and twenty-four kilometers from the center of the city of São Luís, the capital of the state of Maranhão, and its organization is based on highly constructed socio-territorial spatialization. The community is close to the urban environment, drastically changing its culture and customs and mainly causing it to lose its traditional characteristics.
