This study analyzes the process of mobility and settlement of palenquera women in the city of Barranquilla during 1950 and 1970 in terms of understanding how that migration process was, where they arrived and what they did within the city, where they walked, what they sold, how was the relationship with the elites. This from oral sources such as interviews with older palenquera women in the city about their process of mobility, settlement, work relationships and identity during the time. According to the results, it was found that these women were mainly dedicated to working in the sale of sweets, fruits and buns as part of a social movement. Then they began to move within the city by walking to sell their products, creating their commercial routes. This served as a scenario for the strengthening of a conceptual category that we call "Palenquera seller of fruits, sweets and buns". This concept is understood as a form of identity that transmutes over time, which is not static and that is connected to space in which is embedded as well as is strengthened in the relationship with the other and with the environment, although being part of a social movement that is about to disappear.

Keywords : Palenque women; black mobility; social movement; intersectionality; Palenque de San Basilio; Barranquilla.
