Abstract
The article examines the structuring of socio-spatial relations of black individuals in the face of urban challenges since the post-abolition period and, in light of this, the meanings attributed to the backyard and other identity spaces they maintain. Recognizing their importance as material and immaterial representation of the positioning of the black population, these spaces configure themselves as a network of socialities, allowing families to reformulate their organization, transmit their traditions, and preserve their cultures. Dialoguing with the works of Oliveira (2018), Sodré (2019), and Cunha Júnior (2019), this paper discusses the Afro-diasporic memory in these territories based on the trajectories of black families in the municipalities of São Carlos, Araraquara, and Santa Bárbara d’Oeste, considering the city as a living space shaped by the (cre)ative agency of African-descendant peoples.
