Let’s Begin…
In the 1600s, an expansive autonomous settlement called Palmares reached its height in Brazil. It was founded and led by people escaping from slavery, also called maroons. It was one of the world’s largest maroon communities, its population reaching beyond 10,000— and its citizens were at constant war with colonial forces. Marc Adam Hertzman & Flavio dos Santos Gomes tell the story of Palmares.
Palmares was built, defended, and ultimately defeated hundreds of years ago, and its inhabitants left behind no written documents. How do you think historians know what we think we know about it?
