Another Black Like Me
This book brings together authors from different institutions and perspectives and from researchers specialising in different aspects of the experiences of the African Diaspora from Latin America. It creates an overview of the complexities of the lives of Black people over various periods of history, as they struggled to build lives away from Africa in societies that, in general, denied them the basic right of fully belonging, such as the right of fully belonging in the countries where, by choice or force of circumstance, they lived. Another Black Like Me thus presents a few notable scenes from the long history of Blacks in Latin America: as runaway slaves seen through the official documenta...
Islamic Ecumene
The essays in Islamic Ecumene address the ways in which Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit. Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways. The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals. Using the insights and methods of historians, anthropologists, literary critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists, Islamic Ecumene seeks to understand Islamic identity as a dynamic phenomenon that is reflected in the multivalent practices of the more than one billion people across the planet who identify as Muslims.
O Início do Feminismo no Brasil
O início do feminismo no Brasil foi o título atribuído à publicação da ata de fundação da Junta Feminil Pró-Hermes-Wenceslau, coletivo criado em 1909 para apoiar a candidatura de Hermes da Fonseca à Presidência da República. O grupo, liderado por Leolinda de Figueiredo Daltro, pioneira no ativismo político pelos direitos das mulheres, deu origem no ano seguinte ao Partido Republicano Feminino, com atuação política voltada para a reivindicação do direito das mulheres ao voto e por maior participação feminina na esfera pública. A obra lança luzes sobre a personalidade de Leolinda, que, embora hoje seja pouco conhecida pela sociedade, em sua época fundou escolas, jornais, um partido e até mesmo a primeira entidade nacional dedicada à proteção dos índios. Com relato em primeira pessoa da expressiva atuação de Leolinda Daltro, como mulher e cidadã, esta obra representa uma importante contribuição para a coleção Vozes Femininas, cuja intenção é resgatar o protagonismo das mulheres na historiografia brasileira.

Hymns and Constructions of Race
Hymns and Constructions of Race: Mobility, Agency, De/Coloniality examines how the hymn, historically and today, has reinforced, negotiated, and resisted constructions of race. It brings together diverse perspectives from musicology, ethnomusicology, theology, anthropology, performance studies, history, and postcolonial scholarship to show how the hymn has perpetuated, generated, and challenged racial identities. The global range of contributors cover a variety of historical and geographical contexts, with case studies from China and Brazil to Suriname and South Africa. They explore the hymn as a product of imperialism and settler colonialism and as a vehicle for sonic oppression and/or resistance, within and beyond congregational settings. The volume contends that the lived tradition of hymn-singing, with its connections to centuries of global Christian mission, is a particularly apt lens for examining both local and global negotiations of race, power, and identity. It will be relevant for scholars interested in religion, music, race, and postcolonialism.
Many Rivers to Cross: Black Migrations in Brazil and the Caribbean
Since the first contact with Europeans, the Americas have been a continent of immigrants as much as a continent of continuous migrations. Black migrations represent more than the transit of people between countries and regions and from rural areas to urban centers. It contributed to constructing networks that made survival possible, creating neighborhoods and cultural expression, impacting dietary habits, exchanging crops and agricultural techniques, and uplifting families from slavery and misery to ownership, education, and political representation. The most dangerous elements that moved from place to place with blacks were the ideas of freedom and citizenship. This book brings together art...
