| Resumo: | Based on Beatriz Nascimento’s study of quilombos, I highlight the possibilities of using the perspective that the author based on archaeology carried out in Brazil. Raising works that guided the African diaspora via archaeology, as well as discussions on the principles that try to understand the way in which African cultures germinated on that continent, I transcend the notions about the quilombo experience and its historical origins beyond the reality of slavery, correlating between The seventeenth-century Imbangalas and other socio-political organizations in West-Central Africa the development focus of this political plurality. By investigating these varied forms of existence of the quilombo experience, in the light of Beatriz Nascimento, I use the quilombo as an example to show the need to locate in the archaeology of the African diaspora a branch of an archaeology of Africa. |
