Ao longo do século XIX, indivíduos e grupos negros letrados criaram espaços na imprensa para tratar dos assuntos que consideravam importantes e expor suas ideias sobre os rumos do país. Experiências cotidianas e variadas de enfrentamento do racismo, a criação de redes de sociabilidade e o uso de instrumentos legais para promover a cidadania foram registradas nas páginas de jornais assinados por "homens de cor" e dirigidos a eles. Ao ressaltar momentos marcantes da imprensa negra oitocentista, este livro debate as formas de resistência negra e contribui para o enfrentamento da discriminação racial no Brasil. Num momento em que nosso país depara com temas polêmicos, como o Estatuto da Igualdade Racial e as cotas em universidades, a Coleção Consciência em Debate pretende discutir assuntos prementes que interessam não somente aos movimentos negros como a todos os brasileiros. Fundamental para educadores, pesquisadores, militantes e estudantes de todos os níveis de ensino. Coordenação de Vera Lúcia Benedito.

Collected writings by one of the most influential Black Brazilian intellectuals of the twentieth century Beatriz Nascimento (1942–1995) was a poet, historian, artist, and political leader in Brazil’s Black movement, an innovative and creative thinker whose work offers a radical reimagining of gender, space, politics, and spirituality around the Atlantic and across the Black diaspora. Her powerful voice still resonates today, reflecting a deep commitment to political organizing, revisionist historiography, and the lived experience of Black women. The Dialectic Is in the Sea is the first English-language collection of writings by this vitally important figure in the global tradition of Bla...
Luiz Gama, Machado de Assis, José do Patrocínio e mais um grande número de gente livre "de cor" buscaram conquistar e manter espaços no debate público sobre os rumos do país, bem como atuaram na defesa da cidadania de pessoas negras livres, libertas e escravizadas. Indo de encontro às cotidianas práticas de "preconceito de cor" e "ódio de raça", fizeram da atuação em jornais um meio estratégico para a criação de formas de resistência, de confronto, mas também de diálogo. Este livro apresenta um estudo detalhado sobre as articulações diretas e indiretas realizadas por homens negros, livres e letrados atuantes no cenário político-cultural das cidades de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro na segunda metade do século XIX.
People from outside of Brasília often dismiss Brazil’s capital as socially divided, boring, corrupt, and emotionally cold. Apparently its founders created not a vibrant capital, but a cultural wasteland. However, as Sophia Beal argues, Brasília’s contemporary artists are out to prove the skeptics wrong. These twenty-first-century artists are changing how people think about the city and animating its public spaces. They are recasting Brasília as a vibrant city of the arts in which cultural production affirms a creative right to the city. Various genres—prose, poetry, film, cultural journalism, music, photography, graffiti, street theater, and street dance—play a part. Brasília’s initial 1960s art was state-sanctioned, carried out mainly by privileged, white men. In contrast, the capital’s contemporary art is marked by its diversity, challenging norms about who has a voice within the Brasília art scene. This art demystifies the capital’s inequities and imagines alternative ways of inhabiting the city.
This book examines the trajectory of the historical knowledge about journalism produced by its scholars in Brazil, from the early accounts originating from the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute in the 19th century to the specialized academic field at the turn of the 21st century. The history of journalism historiography shows that during the Empire and the Old Republic, the press was idealized as a means of education and a form of mirror of events. After the New State, there was a tendency to view it as an instrument for manipulating public opinion and a suspicious documentary source in the eyes of historians. Finally, with the end of the Military Regime, and with the emergence o...
Silencing the Drum exposes the profound struggle of Afro-Brazilian sacred music against escalating intolerance. Danielle N. Boaz and Umi Vaughan blend legal scholarship with ethnomusicology, offering a compelling narrative rooted in interviews with religious leaders, musicians, and activists across Brazil. This multidisciplinary exploration examines the relentless attacks against the practitioners of Afro-Brazilian religions--from discriminatory noise complaints in Bahia to vigilante violence in Rio de Janeiro. The volume integrates multimedia elements including musical samples to vividly illustrate the struggles and resilience of Afro-Brazilian communities in the face of discrimination. As Silencing the Drum confronts the larger global issues of racism and religious freedom, it provides essential insights for scholars, activists, and anyone passionate about human rights and cultural preservation.
Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil introduces recent Brazilian scholarship to English-language readers, providing fresh perspectives on newspaper and periodical culture in the Brazilian empire from 1822 to 1889. Through a multifaceted exploration of the periodical press, contributors to this volume offer new insights into the workings of Brazilian power, culture, and public life. Collectively arguing that newspapers are contested projects rather than stable recordings of daily life, individual chapters demonstrate how the periodical press played a prominent role in creating and contesting hierarchies of race, gender, class, and culture. Contributors challenge traditional views of newspapers and magazines as mechanisms of state- and nation-building. Rather, the scholars in this volume view them as integral to current debates over the nature of Brazil. Including perspectives from Brazil's leading scholars of the periodical press, this volume will be the starting point for future scholarship on print culture for years to come.
