In the context of the quilombo black community of Caiana dos Crioulos in the city of Alagoa Grande -PB, the black women of this community play a fundamental role in the social articulation of the historical trajectory of the community. The women in networks of knowledge, build the daily lives and experiences of the community, undertaking their antirracist struggle through daily resistance and in the re-existence as a subject of right, human and social. This article aims to discuss the work of black women from Caiana de Crioulos, presenting a brief journey of work and action in the community.
