For nearly 100 years, Palmares not only challenged the power of colonial empires,
but also, and mainly, created a new society. ---- The first leader of Palmareswas Gamba Zumba, who was succeeded by Zumbi. Upon assuming the post of militaryleader, Zumbi led the palmerindos against the incursions of colonial forces.Unfortunately the colonizers managed to defeat the Palmares rebellion, but theynever managed to defeat the resistance of the black people. ---- It was the blackstruggles that shook the slave system: revolts, strikes, escapes, quilombos,sabotage, guerrillas, manumissions, public unrest and various pressures.The abolition of slavery was a victory, but not the end of the struggle. Afterabolition, there were no reparations for the social abyss caused by centuries ofblack exploitation.https://lutafob.org/9332/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
