  Palmares (quilombo) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Palmares, or Quilombo dos Palmares, was a quilombo, a settlement of runaway and free-born African slaves, founded around 1600 in the Serra da Barriga hills of northeastern Brazil.
An independent, self-sustaining republic, Palmares was vast and at its height hosted a population of over 30,000 free African men, women and children.
Palmares successfully defended itself militarily against several attempts by Dutch and, later, Portuguese colonial powers to destroy it and kill or capture its citizens.

 African American Review: "Relate Sexual to Historical": Race, Resistance, and Desire in Gayl Jones's Corregidora
According to a contemporary report, the citizens of Palmares were considered free if they fled the plantations of their own accord, but they remained slaves in Palmares if they were "stolen" from their plantations.
Palmares represents a revolutionary potential in Jones's work, as it had in history, because it was predicated on the connection between personal and collective freedom (one freed oneself by freeing another) and between domestic and public space (between where people loved and where they labored, or, more precisely, the social arrangements of their labor).
Palmares for him remains a symbol, both the hope for and the possibility of a place where a man and a woman are free if they create the time and space for their love.
