Abstract:
The 20th of June 2004 is a milestone in the struggle of black women and men in the rural community 'Invernada dos Negros', located in the municipalities of Campos Novos and Abdon Batista - SC. On that day, the community received from the Palmares Cultural Foundation the Certificate of Self-recognition as 'Community Remnants of Quilombos'. The trajectory to Self-Recognition is centuries old, and is marked by resistance, permanence on earth and affirmation of black identity. This article analyzes part of this trajectory, whether it is the Land Division Action “proposed” by the true heirs of the land – legatees, through their legal representative – lawyer Henrique Rupp Junior, in 1928 and concluded in 1942. This division action caused the shredding of inherited property, usurpation, exclusion and dispossession of black families. Focusing even more on the invisibility and denial of the black population in that space, it will also drive, decades later, the struggle for the retaking of the land/territory.
