O branco ante a rebeldia do desejo: um estudo sobre o pesquisador branco que possui o negro como objeto científico tradicional: a branquitude acadêmica: volume 2
Este livro O branco ante a rebeldia do desejo: um estudo sobre o pesquisador branco que possui o negro como objeto científico tradicional, é uma pesquisa sobre a branquitude e objetiva analisar o branco pesquisador que estuda o negro, a cultura, o "universo" negro etc. A questão central é a seguinte: por que o branco pensa o Outro e não em si? Ante a esse propósito, optei pela técnica da entrevista, visto que foi a forma mais direta que encontrei para colher a informação que pretendia. A pesquisa que realizei foi qualitativa e fiz o uso das análises de discurso e de conteúdo para colaborar com a interpretação dos dados. "Vossa Excelência, o branco" é a figura fundamental deste...
Death Is a Festival
This award-winning social history of death and funeral rites during the early decades of Brazil's independence from Portugal focuses on the Cemiterada movement in Salvador, capital of the province of Bahia. The book opens with a lively account of the popular riot that ensued when, in 1836, the government condemned the traditional burial of bodies inside Catholic church buildings and granted a private company a monopoly over burials. This episode is used by Reis to examine the customs of death and burial in Bahian society, explore the economic and religious conflicts behind the move for funerary reforms and the maintenance of traditional rituals of dying, and understand how people dealt with new concerns sparked by modernization and science. Viewing culture within its social context, he illuminates the commonalities and differences that shaped death and its rituals for rich and poor, men and women, slaves and masters, adults and children, foreigners and Brazilians. This translation makes the book, originally published in Brazil in 1993, available in English for the first time.
Branquitude: Estudos sobre a Identidade Branca no Brasil
"A branquitude significa pertença étnico-racial atribuída ao branco. Podemos entendê-la como o lugar mais elevado da hierarquia racial, um poder de classificar os outros como não brancos, que, dessa forma, significa ser menos do que ele. O ser-branco se expressa na corporeidade, a brancura. E vai além do fenótipo. Ser branco consiste em ser proprietário de privilégios raciais simbólicos e materiais. Com dezessete capítulos, este livro trata da identidade branca com foco na realidade social brasileira". (Os organizadores) "Os estudos sobre as relações raciais muito falaram do negro e dos problemas que lhe foram criados no universo racial brasileiro, mas deixaram de falar de branc...

Crossing Racial Borders
Crossing Racial Borders: The Epistemic Empowerment of the Subaltern explores critically the racial, socioeconomic, historical, and political contemporary conditions of the lived experiences of the subaltern, the oppressed. Through the lens of the decolonial school of thought developed by Latin American thinkers and scholars, this text focuses on the identification and analysis of the subalterns’ praxis of living, thinking, knowing, and doing. The contributors delve into the subalterns’ agency at work and how their [inter]subjective/reflective actions, gestures, and thoughts are deep-seated in subverting and resisting the material and symbolic coloniality of power's exploitation, categorization, and oppression. Drawing from sociological, anthropological, literary, and historical approaches, a new set of ideas and rationalities uncovers and challenges the complicities of modernity/coloniality (power-pattern-matrix) through new narratives and discursive epistemic-frames of empowerment and agency.
The Cooking of History
Over a lifetime of studying Cuban Santería and other religions related to Orisha worship—a practice also found among the Yoruba in West Africa—Stephan Palmié has grown progressively uneasy with the assumptions inherent in the very term Afro-Cuban religion. In The Cooking of History he provides a comprehensive analysis of these assumptions, in the process offering an incisive critique both of the anthropology of religion and of scholarship on the cultural history of the Afro-Atlantic World. Understood largely through its rituals and ceremonies, Santería and related religions have been a challenge for anthropologists to link to a hypothetical African past. But, Palmié argues, precisely...
Pathbreakers
This book concentrates on how small European countries coped with economic integration and disintegration during the twentieth century. Small countries had to adapt flexibly to the drastically changing conditions outside their borders. They had to find ways of maintaining their political autonomy notwithstanding their economic dependence, and they have been quite successful in accomplishing this difficult balancing act. The authors analyse how small countries responded to the challenges of the international system and describe the different policies and strategies pursued by governments, industries and firms. Originating from the XIII. Congress of the International Economic History Association (IEHA), the contributions to this volume offer new perspectives on a widely debated topic and contribute to a better understanding of the current process of globalisation in small and large countries. The volume is divided into three sections: I. Coping with Different Regimes for International Trade and Changing Competitiveness; II. From an Open World Economy to Economic Disintegration and Protectionism; III. Trade Liberalisation, European Integration and Deregulation.
Branquitude
Território do silêncio, da negação, de uma suposta neutralidade, do medo e do privilégio, a branquitude é, ao mesmo tempo, o lado menos explícito do racismo e o principal fator responsável por sua legitimação, manutenção e afirmação. Compreender e enfrentar os efeitos econômicos, culturais, sociais, jurídicos e da produção de subjetividades a partir de um olhar crítico sobre a branquitude é o intuito deste livro. As conversas aqui presentes são resultado do encontro de alguns dos principais pesquisadores, estudiosos e expoentes do pensamento sobre o tema, e foram promovidas pelo Instituto Ibirapitanga, em 2020, no seminário "Branquitude: racismo e antirracismo", em cocu...
Black Atlantic Religion
Black Atlantic Religion illuminates the mutual transformation of African and African-American cultures, highlighting the example of the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religion. This book contests both the recent conviction that transnationalism is new and the long-held supposition that African culture endures in the Americas only among the poorest and most isolated of black populations. In fact, African culture in the Americas has most flourished among the urban and the prosperous, who, through travel, commerce, and literacy, were well exposed to other cultures. Their embrace of African religion is less a "survival," or inert residue of the African past, than a strategic choice in their circum-At...
