"The earth is my quilombo. My space is my quilombo. Where I am, I am. When I am somewhere, I am someone."
Beatriz Nascimento is one of the most important Black intellectual figures in 20th century Brazilian history. She produced some of the most dynamic, innovative and foundational ideas about Brazilian history, culture, politics, and the Black condition in the Americas. Her ideas ranged from analyses of gender and sexuality, to historical and sociological/anthropological reflections on the lived realities of quilombos (maroon communities) in Brazil past and present.
