Handbook of Latin American Studies Vol. 75
The 2021 volume of the benchmark bibliography of Latin American Studies.
Manuel Querino
Este livro apresenta um estudo biográfico sobre Manuel Raymundo Querino (1851-1923). A autora apresenta as várias faces deste sujeito singular e plural, ao tecer um enredo que revela a história de pessoas incógnitas, fazendo ressoar vozes silenciadas pela historiografia tradicional. À medida que a sua trajetória é revelada, a história política e social do trabalho e da arte e a trajetória de outros homens que viveram, criaram, produziram, lutaram, puderam ser retiradas da penumbra. Brasileiro afrodescendente, nascido em Santo Amaro da Purificação-Bahia, viveu acontecimentos significativos da história do Brasil, e da Bahia em particular, que marcaram os anos finais do Império e ...

Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies
This Handbook provides a comprehensive roadmap to the burgeoning area of Afro-Latin American Studies. Afro-Latins as a civilization developed during the period of slavery, obtaining cultural contributions from Indigenous and European worlds, while today they are enriched by new social configurations derived from contemporary migrations from Africa. The essays collected in this volume speak to scientific production that has been promoted in the region from the humanities and social sciences with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of the African diaspora as a specific civilizing element. With contributions from world-leading figures in their fields overseen by an eminent international editorial board, this Handbook features original, authoritative articles organized in four coherent parts: • Disciplinary Studies; • Problem Focused Fields; • Regional and Country Approaches; • Pioneers of Afro-Latin American Studies. The Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies will not only serve as the major reference text in the area of Afro-Latin American Studies but will also provide the agenda for future new research.
Race and Afro-Brazilian Agency in Brazil
This book provides an insight into the Afro-Brazilian experience of racism in Brazil from the 19th Century to the present day, exploring people of African Ancestry’s responses to racism in the context of a society where racism was present in practice, though rarely explicit in law. Race and Afro-Brazilian Agency in Brazil examines the variety of strategies, from conservative to radical, that people of African ancestry have used to combat racism throughout the diaspora in Brazil. In studying the legacy of color-blind racism in Brazil, in contrast to racially motivated policies extant in the US and South Africa during the twentieth century, the book uncovers various approaches practiced by Afro-Brazilians throughout the country since the abolition of slavery towards racism, unique to the Brazilian experience. Studying racism in Brazil from the latter part of the nineteenth century to the present day, the book examines areas such as art and culture, politics, and tradition. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Brazilian history, diaspora studies, race/ethnicity, and Luso-Brazilian studies.
Identities in Flux
Drawing on historical and cultural approaches to race relations, Identities in Flux examines iconic Afro-Brazilian figures and theorizes how they have been appropriated to either support or contest a utopian vision of multiculturalism. Zumbi dos Palmares, the leader of a runaway slave community in the seventeenth century, is shown not as an anti-Brazilian rebel but as a symbol of Black consciousness and anti-colonial resistance. Xica da Silva, an eighteenth-century mixed-race enslaved woman who "married" her master and has been seen as a licentious mulatta, questions gendered stereotypes of so-called racial democracy. Manuel Querino, whose ethnographic studies have been ignored and virtually...
Operário em partido de patrões
Entre as décadas de 1940 e 1960, Alagoinhas, cidade do interior baiano que fica a cerca de 120 quilômetros de Salvador, atravessou uma intensificação no processo de urbanização. O seu contingente demográfico praticamente duplicou, ao passo que a ocupação na área urbana se expandia. Este processo estabelecia uma relação de mão dupla com a vida política na cidade, quando, por exemplo, trabalhadores urbanos passaram a se destacar no cenário eleitoral, sendo reconhecidos como uma parcela relevante do eleitorado local. Além disso, foram eleitos vereadores, alguns deles operários, que desempenharam o papel de interlocutores entre os trabalhadores e o Estado. Questões ligadas a esses sujeitos sociais passaram a se fazer presentes na agenda política da cidade, seguramente em uma proporção ainda não verificada em outro momento da história republicana.
Transmodern
How can we reconfigure our picture of modern art after the postcolonial turn without simply adding regional art histories to the Eurocentric canon? Transmodern examines the global dimension of modern art by tracing the crossroads of different modernisms in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Featuring case studies in Indian modernism, the Harlem Renaissance and post-war abstraction, it demonstrates the significance of transcultural contacts between artists from both sides of the colonial divide. The book argues for the need to study non-western avant-gardes and Black avant-gardes within the west as transmodern counter-currents to mainstream modernism. It situates transcultural art practices from the 1920s to the 1960s within the framework of anti-colonial movements and in relation to contemporary transcultural thinking that challenged colonial concepts of race and culture with notions of syncretism and hybridity.
