RAIMBERT, Céline. La ruralidad quilombola cuestionada o los nuevos desafíos de la agricultura familiar en Brasil. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2012, vol.7, n.14, pp.48-80. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2012.14.99.

Between urbanization and globalization, rural spaces are experiencing fundamental changes. It is particularly the case in Brazil, major agriculture power, where many agrarian models are overlapping, among these the agribusiness and the family agriculture. We will focus on the evolutions of the small rural communities, its difficulties and opportunities and, more precisely, on the example of communities of remnant Quilombolas (descendants of maroon slaves), socio-territorial category created by the State in the 1988 Federal Constitution in which the multiculturalist principles are affirmed. Thus, we will think about the specificities of the Quilombola rurality, between practices and representations, between strategies and values, between modernity and traditions.

Keywords : rurality; family agriculture; quilombola communities; Brazil.
