“…Therefore, historically spatializing different types of Blackness in resistance in Latin America can enrich these studies by adding new, more critical perspectives regarding race. With the exceptions of Brazil and Colombia, the study of African descendants has not paid sufficient attention to their spatial practices, an analysis of which would afford insights into contemporary strategies of political resistance (Escobar 2008;Oslender 2008Oslender , 2016P erez-Wilke 2014;da Costa Segovia et al 2015; Lombard, Hern andez-Garc ıa, and Salgado-Ram ırez 2021). The recovery in the following sections of the legacy of territorial struggle of maroon descendants in the Colombian Caribbean shows that race matters in spatial resistance in Latin America.…”

“…With some exceptions in Brazil (P erez-Wilke 2014; da Costa Segovia et al 2015), the Colombian Pacific region (Escobar 2008;Oslender 2016), andEcuador (Vela-Almeida et al 2020), Blackness, and in particular the maroon heritage of specific Afrodescendant communities, has been excluded from the analyses of counterhegemonic territories. Marronage was the act of enslaved people escaping from cities, large farms, and mines to build communities away from those who claimed ownership over them in the Americas and the Caribbean (R. Price 1983;de Groot 1985;Navarrete 2001;Roberts 2015;Krug 2018).…”

Maroon communities, or communities of descendants of fugitives from slavery, have been long-lasting examples of social movements pursuing political goals through the production and mobilization of space. They have been largely forgotten in academic analyses, however, which, in Latin America, are primarily focused on peasants and indigenous movements. Therefore, drawing on socioterritorial movements readings and maroon studies, this article analyzes how maroon-descendant communities have produced territory in both urban and rural spaces-including areas of forced displacement-locally and transnationally, to survive hegemonies deeply rooted in the legacy of slavery and to achieve political aims. These communities unsettle binary categories of rural and urban socioterritorial movements and monolithic visions of antistate struggle. This transterritorial, rural-urban appropriation of spaces resisting different powers follows the past logic of marronage to achieve freedom and security, re-creating in present times the political vision of historical maroon leaders regarding the construction of a grand Palenque in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean.
