Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
In honor of “Zumbi dos Palmares” (1655–1695). When slavery was still legal in Brazil, “quilombos” were refuges where slaves who escaped from their owners would hide. “Quilombo dos Palmares” was the most emblematic one of the Brazilian colonial era, serving as a shelter for more than thirty thousand runaway slaves at once. Zumbi, its last leader and local hero, led the resistance against the oppression of his people imposed by the enslavers between 1678 and 1694.
