Abstract (English): This article presents an overview of the Afro-descendant communities of the Caruao parish in Venezuela and their current relationship with the territories they still occupy, the same ones that were originally worked by their ancestors enslaved since the beginning of the 17th century. Based on a methodology that combines historical documentation and oral testimonies, it was possible to elaborate the present text, giving account of the abandonment of the local arable land by these communities, which would put in question the defense of the Afro-descendant territories as a fundamental right, since the same Afro-descendants would no longer be interested in giving continuity to the agricultural activities developed by their ancestors. Likewise, we speak here of forgetfulness and remembrance of the ancestral past as a possible hypothesis to understand why these people have been abandoning their traditional territories and activities.

Abstract (Spanish): En este artículo se presenta un panorama general de las comunidades afrodescendientes de la parroquia Caruao en Venezuela y su actual relación con los territorios que aún ocupan los mismos que fueran originalmente trabajados por sus ancestros esclavizados desde principios del siglo XVII. Con base en una metodología que combina recopilación histórico-documental y testimonios orales, ha sido posible elaborar el presente escrito dando cuenta del abandono de las tierras de cultivo local por parte de estas comunidades, lo cual pondría en entredicho la defensa de los territorios afrodescendientes como un derecho fundamental, toda vez que los mismos no estarían ya interesados en dar continuidad a las faenas agrícolas desarrolladas por sus ancestros. Asimismo, se habla aquí de olvido y des-memoria del pasado ancestral como hipótesis posible para comprender por qué estas personas han ido abandonando sus territorios y actividades tradicionales.
