This research aims to investigate the construction of the territory remaining of marrons Caiana dos Crioulos, located in the municipality of Alagoa Grande PB, as part of struggles for land in the State of Paraíba. For this, we use as theoreticalmethodological literature authors of Geography and related areas, like Anjos(1999), Haesbaert (2004), Raffestin (1993), Ratts (2003), on the discussion on territory; Barth (1998), Ianni (2004), Moura (1994) and Munanga (1988, 2006), when discussing race and ethnicity and, regarding the discussion about social movements used Gohn (1997), Gorender (2000) and Dallari (2002). From the theoretical and methodological point of view, we conducted a thorough literature review on the concepts of territory and ethnic territorial, addressing the relations of power and differences in the maroon community. To support certain interpretations we survey in documents of INCRA, IBGE, IHGP, FUNASA, MN-PB and the Association of Residents of the Maroon Community Caiana dos Crioulos. In this institutions, when was required, we did semi-structured interviews with their representatives to clarify issues that arose throughout the research. In research, we adopted qualitative procedures, through field work, in order to maintain the dialogue with the maroon, besides getting information that were recorded in field notebooks, electronic recorder, camera and camcorder. The structure of this dissertation is based on three chapters dealing with theoretical and methodological tools, techniques and documents of the research; the concepts of race, ethnicity and maroons, and the racial issue in Brazil; in addition to discuss the territory of memory and ethnic identity of Caiana dos Crioulos. From the reading and field work performed, we believe that the territory of the Caiana dos Crioulos is constituted for a complexity, which involves the forms of identity relations with the place and of resistance and to the conquer and permanence on land.
