Quilombo Brazil_09rf00093.jpg
Santa Teresa D´Avila celebration at Itamatatiua Quilombo, Alcantara, Maranhao State, northeastern Brazil - Men raise up a heavy decorated trunck that will be used as flagstaff for the saint image in front of the church. A quilombo is a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by people of African origin. Most of the inhabitants of quilombos were escaped former slaves and, in some cases, a minority of marginalised non-slave Brazilians that faced oppression during colonization.
