Quilombo do Abacatal, Ananindeua-Pará. MOJU, PARÁ, Brazil “We are not even getting access to the basic necessities,” says Raimundo Magno, the leader of the Africa quilombola community in Moju, Pará, his face grim with anguish. Magno’s complaint points to the abandonment felt in the quilombolas, communities of descendants of Africans brought to Brazil as enslaved laborers. The sense they’ve been deserted is brought about by the lack of help, by the absence of specific health policies, and by the scarcity of official statistics tabulating the number of COVID-19 cases. After months of agony, entities and leaders are arguing in court for the state to recognize the historic vulnerability of the population, which the appearance of the new coronavirus in their territories has accentuated.
