From a cultural-historical perspective, this essay approaches the relations between the quilombola culture, its identity and subjectivity, based on the social imaginary built upon these subjects. Due to a past consisting of enslavement, fighting, escaping, and quilombo's settlement, the analysis of this symbolic universe outlines a social logic in which interaction, acquaintanceship and isolation play an important role on their cultural identity construction. Examining how culture influences these individuals' social organization and how it reflects their identity and subjectivity is one possible path for Cultural Psychology to cast a look upon meanings, mores and symbols of a particular community or society.
