Tear africano
O tear africano de cada dia tece o pano e tece a trama da vida. Africanidades e afrodescendentes constituem um dos eixos fundamentais da construção do Brasil. Este livro reúne contos escritos durante um período de dez anos de militância do autor. Os contos buscam retratar uma visão da sociedade brasileira nas suas contradições étnicas. Quilombos e quilombolas figuram não só como símbolos de luta e vitória, mas também como portadores da sabedoria e dignos contribuidores para o saber da humanidade.
Ethnomathematics in Action
This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies brought together in this volume show how this research program is applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have generated different forms of mathematical practice. These stud...
Voices of the Race
Voices of the Race offers English translations of more than one hundred articles published in Black newspapers in Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and Uruguay from 1870 to 1960. Those publications were as important in Black community and intellectual life in Latin America as African American newspapers were in the United States, yet they are almost completely unknown to English-language readers. Expertly curated, the articles are organized into chapters centered on themes that emerged in the Black press: politics and citizenship, racism and anti-racism, family and education, community life, women, Africa and African culture, diaspora and Black internationalism, and arts and literature. Each chapter includes an introduction explaining how discussions on those topics evolved over time, and a list of questions to provoke further reflection. Each article is carefully edited and annotated; footnotes and a glossary explain names, events, and other references that will be unfamiliar to English-language readers. A unique, fascinating insight into the rich body of Black cultural and intellectual production across Latin America.
Entangled Edens
"The skill with which [Slater] combines various levels and modalities of narrative, utilizing her personal experience as a colorful unifying thread, is truly remarkable."—Antonio Candido, author of Antonio Candido: On Literature and Society (Howard S. Becker, editor) "A very important book, that quite gracefully, elegantly, and persuasively moves beyond the usual 'myth and history' format to put at its center stories about the Amazon and the people who tell them. Entangled Edens persuasively argues that the Amazon can only be grasped, understood, and come to terms with through its myths and stories. It addresses a very real failing of modern environmentalism, which for all its virtues, ten...
PATRIMÔNIO ARQUITETÔNICO AFROCRATENSE
O Cariri cearense é uma região que apresenta um rico patrimônio material e imaterial de origem africana. Tais elementos apontam para a ampliação das possibilidades de ensino a partir das africanidades locais em todas as áreas do conhecimento. A pesquisadora Meryelle Macedo da Silva analisa aspectos desse patrimônio presentes na tecnologia das construções no município de Crato-CE, trazendo um panorama da presença negra e a importância desse grupo no processo de formação territorial desse lugar. A autora revisita a história do município e nos coloca no contexto do bairro Seminário, visibilizando a população negra como construtora do espaço geográfico e propondo ressignific...
