Brazilian slave descendants question land demarcation

After decades of black resistance and at least five years of legal dispute, the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (“Incra”) finished this week a report which identifies and demarcates the quilombola community of Rio dos Macacos, in Bahia state. It has been ruled that two unconnected areas, with a space of 104 hectares (ha) altogether, are to be granted to the community.
