Memória em branco e negro
Recuperar a memória da cidade de São Paulo com base em seus extremos. Utilizando essa idéia, Teresinha Bernardo compôs Memória em branco e negro. O livro desenvolve uma análise comparativa entre duas experiências imigratórias totalmente distintas: os italianos e os africanos. Graças a essa correlação, a autora nos oferece um olhar amplo do mundo urbano-industrial paulistano do início do século XX.
Relocating the Sacred
Although Brazil is home to the largest African diaspora, the religions of its African descendants have often been syncretized and submerged, first under the force of colonialism and enslavement and later under the spurious banner of a harmonious national Brazilian character. Relocating the Sacred argues that these religions nevertheless have been preserved and manifested in a strategic corpus of shifting masks and masquerades of Afro-Brazilian identity. Following the re-Africanization process and black consciousness movement of the 1970s to 1990s, Afro-Brazilians have questioned racial democracy, seeing how its claim to harmony actually dispossesses them of political power. By embracing African deities as a source of creative inspiration and resistance, Afro-Brazilians have appropriated syncretism as a means of not only popularizing African culture but also decolonizing themselves from the past shame of slavery. This book maps the role of African heritage in—and relocation of the sacred to—three sites of Brazilian cultural production: ritual altars, literature, and carnival culture.
