This dissertation analyzes the administrative process of titling the quilombola territory Saco das Almas, as well as environmental and territorial conflicts, especially since the 1990s, with the expansion of soybean in the area. The quilombolas, who, oppressed by the faces of slavery and now fearful of the fate of the land in the hands of agribusiness entrepreneurs, besides the legal impasses, see the realization of their rights as descendants of quilombos impaired by political problems and because of the deficient structure of INCRA. The general perception is that the government does not understand or recognize the traditional way of life of the group, which results in racism and disregard. For the construction of the work, I carried out bibliographic, documentary research, as well as interviews with the various agents involved in the conflict. I have emphasized the observations different discourses that are produced around the process and how they interfere in the final emission or negation of the title of the earth.
