| Summary: | A quilombola community is a space under construction subject to decentralization and
globalization like all contemporary space. It is plausible to point out that the formation of memory sites
within these traditional communities, despite being a manifestation that is lived in the present, transports
the community to a past which gives meaning and unity to the group. In regards to this thematic, this
article will cover the final data of the research project titled "Culture, black identity and resistance: The
case of the remaining quilombo community of Pau d'Arco", in which, through the perception of the
quilombola subjects about themselves and the group to which they belong, and their traditional narratives
and customs, the researchers atempt to identify and understand how the memory sites of Vila Pau d'Arco,
on the city of Arapiraca-AL, are constituted and how they function, thus composing a story of how its
history was built. Methodologically, this is an ethnographic research associated with oral history, with a
qualitative analysis of the data collected, which will be obtained through interviews and active
observation, implying the imersion of the researchers in the socio-cultural universe of the subjects.
