African Heritage and Memories of Slavery in Brazil and the South Atlantic World

This book explores the history of African tangible and intangible heritages and its links with the public memory of slavery in Brazil and Angola. The two countries are deeply connected, given how most enslaved Africans, forcibly brought to Brazil during the era of the Atlantic slave trade, were from West Central Africa. Brazil imported the largest number of enslaved Africans during the Atlantic slave trade and was the last country in the western hemisphere to abolish slavery in 1888. Today, other than Nigeria, the largest population of African descent is in Brazil. Yet it was only in the last twenty years that Brazil's African heritage and its slave past have gained greater visibility. Prior...

AfroLatinas and LatiNegras

AfroLatinas as a subject of scholarship are woefully underrepresented, and this edited volume, AfroLatinas and LatiNegras: Culture, Identity, and Struggle from an Intersectional Perspective, offers an important and timely intervention. The consistent attention to AfroLatinas’ agency across all the chapters is empowering and attentive to the difficult circumstances of asserting that agency, and to the tremendous breadth of what agency can look like. The authors argue for the analytical power of the concept of Intersectionality while considering the hegemonic pressures on AfroLatinidad and the essentializing moves that an intersectional approach enables: evading, overthrowing, and resisting ...

New Approaches to the Comparative Abolition in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans

Taking the theme of 'abolition' as its point of departure, this book builds on the significant growth in scholarship on unfree labour in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds during the past two decades. The essays included here revisit some of the persistent problems posed by the traditional comparative literature on slavery and indentured labour and identify new and exciting areas for future research. This book is intended for a broad audience, including scholars, students as well as for a general readership who have specific interests in the history of the slave trade, slavery and imperial history. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Atlantic Studies: Global Currents.

Geminiana e seus filhos

A partir de uma pesquisa minuciosa e reveladora, Geminiana e seus filhos coloca em foco a sociedade de São Luís do Maranhão no ano de 1876, quando os meninos Inocêncio e Jacintho, nascidos pouco antes da Lei do Ventre Livre e mantidos sob jugo da baronesa Ana Rosa Viana Ribeiro foram torturados e assassinados por ela. Analisando os diferentes personagens envolvidos no caso e seus papéis, a obra denuncia um dos aspectos mais cruéis da sociedade escravagista brasileira do século XIX, ao mesmo tempo em que destaca a coragem de Geminiana e Simplícia, mãe e avó das crianças mortas, e da rede de resistência que se formava diante dos horrores da escravidão.

O funk na batida

Este livro apresenta a história do funk, gênero musical de imenso sucesso popular no Brasil e no exterior, que gera recursos financeiros e a inclusão de sujeitos sociais marginalizados. Comumente associados à criminalidade, à violência e ao mau gosto, os frequentadores dos bailes são alvo constante de repressão policial e legislação proibitiva. Ao mesmo tempo, o ritmo é sinônimo de alegria, sensualidade, sucesso, glamour e ostentação – de brasilidade. No estudo que deu origem à obra, Danilo Cymrot traz a diversidade de estilos, valores e comportamentos nos bailes de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro. Também demonstra como a criminalização do funk, assim como um dia ocorreu com o samba e a capoeira, vai muito além do rechaço a uma manifestação cultural, revelando muito mais sobre a sociedade brasileira do que se pode imaginar.
