This editorial from issue 18, vol. 9 of PatryTer deals, succinctly, with the relationship between biography, memory, and territory, recovering the focus of the "biography of the subject - history of the territory," which is the methodological core of our project "Patrimonial Utopisms for Latin America," which also resulted in the creation of this journal in 2017. The editorial problematizes the invisibility of thousands of Afro-descendant and Indigenous men and women whose memory has been and is erased within the family and collective group, in Brazil and other colonized nations on the continent; these are protagonists in the socio-spatial formation of each Latin American country, as they link its main aspects of historical culture, politics, and economy.
