The main intent of the present study is to analyze some questions about identity and cultural traditions of the descendents of black slaves known as quilombolas at the community of Alto Alegre in Ceará Brazil My focus is in how these residents construct their black identity inside their own social group and outside of it I take as starting point the meaning of quilombo nowadays to contextualize the object of this research The practices of the quilombolas cannot be taken as an isolated factor the contributions of these social actors in different forms of collective agglutinations and actions are up to mention many of them seek political reforms changes in State laws and to generate public politics (including land owning besides the crisis of rural fields) So it is a resignified identity that is in discussion and construction at the same time is a battle for social rights linked to specific territories which promotes cultural changes inside the life of communities.
