Résumé
We explore the rationales behind the multi-sited territories of Quilombola communities (descendants of Maroons) in Amazonia. Their mobility systems, based on family residential dispersion and complementarities, connect discontinuous spaces, both rural and urban. A system of collective rules of membership and rights ensures territorial continuity between these areas and gives meaning to the notion of multi-sited territory. We then discuss the challenges associated with the recent reconfiguration of these areas, in the light of changes in production systems and demands related to environmental management.
