Quilombhoje is a literary group of Afro-Brazilian writers formed in the early 1980s. The word "Quilombhoje" is a portmanteau of the Portuguese words quilombo (a settlement of runaway slaves) and hoje (today). It was part of a greater black identity movement internationally ubiquitous in the 20th century. Since its founding, Quilombhoje has hosted many literary and cultural activities which promote awareness of, and pride in, Afro-Brazilian heritage. Original members of Quilombhoje, Paulo Colina, Oswaldo Camargo, Aberlado Rodrigues, and Cuti began informally meeting in bars from 1980 to 1982. They sought to promote the idea of a literary group that emphasized Afro-Brazilian literature and culture. Inspired by Cadernos Negros, Quilombhoje's purpose was to combine the literary, political, and cultural aspects of the Movimento Negro (Black Movement) in Brazil. More information...
