SUMMARY:

Research into the formation of quilombola communities in Bahia's Boca do Sertão at the end of the 19th century focuses on the social dynamics following the abolition of slavery in 1888, a period of significant social inequalities. Quilombola communities emerged as key centers of resistance and cultural preservation, where former slaves faced marginalization and developed means of survival and affirmation of their identity. The thesis uses a historiographical approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative analysis of historical documents and oral narratives to understand the formation of these communities. It highlights the importance of the ―black camp‖ as a concept that illustrates the resistance and adaptation of these communities in the face of the oppressive structures of the time. The chapters deal with the transition from slavery to freedom, the role of the family unit and the formation of the black peasantry. The research identified complex networks of solidarity, cultural preservation and the relevance of quilombola communities in the economic and social transformations of Bahia. The formation of quilombola communities is analyzed as a process of resistance and innovation, in which the family plays a central role. The socio-economic transformations in Bahia's Boca do Sertão, a crucial region due to its interconnection between the Recôncavo and the interior, are also highlighted. The transition from slavery to freedom in Bahia is analyzed, emphasizing the role of Afro-descendants in the abolitionist movement. The relevance of Bahia as a space of complex economic and social interactions is highlighted, with an emphasis on the resistance and adaptation of black/mestizo communities. The study shows how these communities used the land not only as an economic resource, but also as a symbol of identity and resistance, developing adaptation strategies.
