Resumen:
This research, called Daniel's Quilombo: Memory as Identity and Territoriality in the Urban
Space of Pombal-PB, is based on the premise that quilombos are spaces that express habits and customs, which reflect the cultural heritage of black people, composing the identity of subjects who occupy a territory and exercise their sovereignty. As it is a traditional community, we chose to work wit oral research methodology and collected narratives of life stories, aiming to analyze the urban identity of the Daniel quilombola (Pombal-PB) through their in- dividual and collective memory, their cultural practices and its relationship with the territoria- lity of the town. In order to understand the quilombola territoriality and its black identity, we used oral history as a research method with older community actors in the perspective of un- derstanding their culture. We propose a theoretical study involving some theorists such as Arruti (2008), Albagli (2004), Bosi (1995), Candau (2011), Freyre (1981) among others that contributed to the understanding and analysis of identity the Daniel's Quilombola. For this, an interdisciplinary study was carried out involving the fields of knowledge: History, Geography, Anthropology and Sociology, in order to contribute to the appreciation and quilombola significance of the citizens of the Daniel quilombo, in the exercise of appropriation of their struggles and achievements with a view to self-assertion of their identity. The quilombola community in question preserves the customs of its ancestors, especially with regard to the continuity of its culture, such as the folkloric dance of Pontoons, which is still performed by members of the community, serving the younger generations as a self- assertion of Afro-descendants and corroborating the belonging to the territory.
