For the past thirty years, the Brazilian government has recognized dozens of sites and cultural practices of Afro-descendant groups as national heritage, including the historical maroon site Quilombo dos Palmares. As this site has gained international notoriety, academic research has focused on the value of this historical landmark for commemorating Afro-Brazilian heritage. This article looks to the ambiguous effects of such commemoration on contemporary people living in the area, some of whom are being forcefully evicted from the site in connection with its heritage status. The article addresses the vulnerability experienced by these residents, as it highlights broader issues associated with multicultural and heritage-recognition policies in Brazil. Specifically, I analyze the policies protecting contemporary maroon descendants and sites to reveal why Palmares residents making claims on their land and heritage fall outside of state recognition. I argue that as these policies have become an increasingly powerful mechanism for protecting Afro-Brazilian and minority groups, they have also acquired the capacity to hurt the most vulnerable individuals within these communities. Two very different types of heritage stand to be protected at Palmares: one of the historical maroons and their contemporary kin, and another of the structurally unequal system that inadvertently replicates the oppression it intends to dismantle. In the context of massive inequality that disproportionately affects blacks, maroon descendants, indigenous, and other minority populations in Brazil, it is critical to consider how political strategies for redressing ethnoracial inequality may also end up perpetuating segregation. Resumo Ao longo dos ultimos trinta anos, o governo brasileiro tem reconhecido como patrimonio cultural dezenas de espacos e praticas culturais de grupos afrodescendentes, entre estes, o espaco historico do Quilombo dos Palmares. A medida que este local tem adquirido notoriedade historica internacional, a pesquisa academica tem priorizado a importância do local no que se refere a comemoracao do patrimonio cultural afro-brasileiro. Meu trabalho analisa as consequencias de tal reconhecimento patrimonial na vida de populacoes que residem atualmente nesta regiao, algumas das quais estao sendo expulsas a forca do local, devido a declaratoria deste como patrimonio cultural. Analiso tambem as vulnerabilidades experimentadas por tais populacoes, no contexto da problematica mais ampla das politicas multiculturais de reconhecimento do patrimonio no Brasil. Especificamente, examino as politicas de protecao aos quilombos e individuos quilombolas, e analiso como e por que o Estado nao reconhece as reclamacoes de terras e patrimonio feitas pelos residentes de Palmares. Minha tese e que embora tais politicas venham sendo poderosos mecanismos de protecao aos grupos afro-brasileiros e as minorias, tem tambem adquirido uma capacidade desproporcional para prejudicar os individuos mais vulneraveis daquelas comunidades. Assim sendo, a declaracao de Palmares oferece protecao a dois patrimonios muito distintos: um e dos quilombos historicos e seus descendentes contemporâneos, e outro, do sistema estruturalmente desigual que tem como consequencia inesperada a replicacao da mesma opressao que a propria politica visava a desmantelar. Dentro do contexto de desigualdade massiva no Brasil, que prejudica desproporcionalmente as populacoes negras, os quilombolas, os indigenas e outras minorias, e de suma importância considerar como as politicas atuais que visam a reparacao da desigualdade etnorracial tambem levam a perpetuacao da segregacao.

巴西的权利，不平等和非洲后裔

在过去的30年中，巴西政府已将非洲裔后裔的数十个遗址和文化习俗视为国家遗产，包括历史悠久的栗色遗址Quilombo dos Palmares。随着该遗址获得国际声誉，学术研究集中于这个历史地标对纪念巴西裔非洲人的遗产的价值。本文着眼于这种纪念活动对居住在该地区的当代人的模棱两可的影响，其中一些人因其遗产地位而被迫驱逐出该地点。本文着重介绍了这些居民遭受的脆弱性，因为它着重强调了与巴西多元文化和遗产认可政策相关的更广泛的问题。特别，我分析了保护当代栗色后代和遗址的政策，以揭示帕尔马雷斯居民为何对自己的土地和遗产提出主张，而这超出了国家的认可范围。我认为，由于这些政策已成为保护非洲裔巴西人和少数群体的日益强大的机制，因此它们还具有伤害这些社区中最脆弱者的能力。帕尔马雷斯将保护两种截然不同的遗产：一种是历史栗色及其当代血统，另一种是结构上不平等的制度，无意间复制了它打算拆除的压迫。在严重不平等现象严重影响巴西黑人，栗色后裔，土著人和其他少数族裔的情况下，至关重要的是，考虑到解决种族差异的政治策略也可能最终导致种族隔离。巴西，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙，西班牙。一份由国际医学研究基金会提供的历史性国际证明，从本地研究机构获得的优先研究是指一种非传统的巴西文化遗产。Métrabalho analisa作为遗产的继承人，在当地居民中享有法定地位，而在当地的居民则享有一定的声望，而德意志人则是文化遗产的宣告者。墨西哥的无性繁殖试验（Analiso tambem）作为无性繁殖实验，没有巴西的父权制或多元文化。Especificamente，例如，作为居民的政治人物，作为居民的土地复议人，作为土地居民的财产继承人，在Palmares居住。作为少数派的民意调查，请以民意调查为准。Assim sendo，宣告了帕尔马里斯的正式保护，并证明了自己的权利：在历史上，从现在到未来，进行必要的广告宣传，以确保广告的整体性和政治性。巴西的整体背景，中性的先决条件，中性的流行性，基米拉夫拉斯，中性和外来性的因果关系，以政治上的态度被视为政治上的普遍性。
