A descoberta do insólito
O percurso das literaturas negra e periférica a partir dos anos 1960 enfrentou questionamentos, barreiras, invisibilidade, oposição, pouca valoração. Mas, ao negarem o que sempre lhes fora naturalizado no senso comum e na história social do país, escritores, ativistas e intelectuais negros e periféricos escavaram com enfrentamento e resistência um espaço incontestável na história da literatura brasileira. Isso pode ser observado no reconhecimento que o presente, por fim, confere a nomes como Maria Firmina dos Reis, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Paulo Lins, Conceição Evaristo, Marcelo D'Salete, Oswaldo de Camargo, Sérgio Vaz, Kiusam de Oliveira, entre tantos outros - hoje celebrados, premiados e objetos de estudo. Nesta segunda edição, Mário Medeiros revisita a primeira edição de sua obra, de 2013, atualizando-a e ampliando-a com um novo capítulo, voltado à história das livrarias e das editoras dedicadas à literatura negra, e ressaltando o poder da literatura negra feminina no Brasil atualmente.

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.
Memory’s Turn
The first book to trace Brazil's reckoning with dictatorship through the collision of politics and cultural production.
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.
O carro do êxito
Nova edição da coletânea de contos de um dos mais notáveis militantes do movimento negro brasileiro, com prefácio de Mário Augusto Medeiros da Silva e ilustrações de Marcelo D'Salete. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1972, O carro do êxito é o único livro de contos de Oswaldo de Camargo, um dos mais notáveis intelectuais negros do século XX. A obra apresenta uma perspectiva pouco usual na literatura brasileira: personagens negros não apenas na luta, mas no triunfo. O título — alusão ao poema de Mário de Andrade, "O carro da miséria" — é uma prévia de histórias que retratam o negro descobrindo que "é possível ser na vida, apesar dela", como afirma o sociólogo Mário ...
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.
The Consequences of Brazilian Social Movements in Historical Perspective
This book sheds light on the outcomes of social movements in Brazil. It provides an extensive analysis of how and when collective mobilization and protest activities brought about social and political change. Charting the dynamics and characteristics of Brazil’s social movements from the abolition of slavery in 1888 to the present day, the contributors to this edited volume demonstrate the processes of social movement activism in Brazil, and its relations with political institutions across various types of governments and political regimes. They bring to light both political opportunity structures of different historical periods, and the political and cultural consequences of mobilization ...
Foundations, US Foreign Policy and Anti-Racism in Brazil
This book connects the work of US private foundations, the US government, and Brazilian intellectuals to explore how they worked collaboratively to address racial disparities in Brazil during the Cold War. It reveals not only how anti-racism was promoted during this period, shaping the political and academic agenda, but also the importance of American foundations, especially the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, in the process. Drawing on a vast array of archival and published sources from Brazil, the United States, and around the world, the book investigates the making of transnational connections and networks that sought to respond to the "race problem", seen as an increasingly dangerous threat to the liberal international order. This book is especially relevant to the areas of Race Studies, Social Sciences, Latin-American Studies, Political Science and History, particularly the History of Sociology and Anthropology, as well as to studies about the role of American foundations in the Cold War period. It will also be of interest to activists, social scientists, economists, historians, journalists, NGOs, and INGOs.
