AB  - This article discusses the marronage logics (Cimarronaje) and the constitution of Palenque
villages, as an expression of black slaves’ resistance against the colonial neogranadian
system. The analysis is temporarily focused on the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and spatially
in the current Caribbean region of Colombia, specifically the areas known as Bolivar
Sabanero and the Mompox Depression. Throughout the conjunction of these temporal and
geographic variables, the author can track how black slaves ran away from their masters using
marronage (cimarronaje) dynamics, as a pursuit for social and territorial autonomy. This
autonomy was materialized through the construction of Palenque villages in specific areas
of the Colombian Caribbean, where they found what the colonial system did not provide
to the enslaved population of the time. In this sense, this paper presents some theoretical
positions corresponding to the study of Afro-descendants during the colonial times in the
Resumo
focused region. The analysis could contribute to strengthening the figure of Palenque village’s
as territorial entities and a geographic space that allowed the Maroons to access levels of
social autonomy through a particular use and appropriation of their native territory.
