Este livro foi escrito para aqueles que compreendem que os recursos naturais estratégicos amazônicos são, sobremaneira, o maior patrimônio do Estado brasileiro. Para aqueles que percebem onde os governos federal, regionais, ou locais precisam atuar, serve como um orientador para ações a serem tomadas, apontando problemas específicos. É, em um espectro mais amplo, uma análise das narrativas ambientalistas na promoção de uma ação ambiciosa com o apoio de atores extra e intrarregional com interesses político-estratégicos sobre o tema. Em seu arcabouço, este livro propõe mostrar que ser parte da solução do problema é muito diferente de ser membro de uma rede.
In Light of Africa explores how the idea of Africa as a real place, an imagined homeland, and a metaphor for Black identity is used in the cultural politics of the Brazilian state of Bahia. In the book, Allan Charles Dawson argues that Africa, as both a symbol and a geographical and historical place, is vital to understanding the wide range of identities and ideas about racial consciousness that exist in Bahia's Afro-Brazilian communities. In his ethnographic research Dawson follows the idea of Africa from the city of Salvador to the West African coast and back to the hinterlands of the Bahian interior. Along the way, he encounters West African entrepreneurs, Afrobeat musicians, devotees of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé, professors of the Yoruba language, and hardscrabble farmers and ranchers, each of whom engages with the idea of Africa in their own personal way.
Based on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and historical research, this book uses a Brazilian quilombola community (descendants of enslaved Africans) as a case study to explore how memories, knowledge, and experience are transformed into cultural heritage.
