Paternalism, Transgression and Slave Resistance in Brazil
Tramps, lazy, cheaters. Expressions like these were widely used by several masters in view of the multiple forms of transgressions committed by slaves. This type of (dis) qualification gained an even stronger contour in properties controlled by religious orders, which tried to impose moralizing measures on the enslaved population. In this book, the reader will come across a peculiar form of management, highly centralized and commanded by one of the most important religious corporations in Brazil: the Order of Saint Benedict. The Institutional Paternalism built by this institution throughout the 18th and 19th centuries was able to stimulate, among the enslaved, the yearning for freedom and au...
Deeply Rooted in the Present
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.
The Yellow Demon of Fever
A pathbreaking history of how participants in the slave trade influenced the growth and dissemination of medical knowledge As the slave trade brought Europeans, Africans, and Americans into contact, diseases were traded along with human lives. Manuel Barcia examines the battle waged against disease, where traders fought against loss of profits while enslaved Africans fought for survival. Although efforts to control disease and stop epidemics from spreading brought little success, the medical knowledge generated by people on both sides of the conflict contributed to momentous change in the medical cultures of the Atlantic world.

After Palmares
In After Palmares, Marc A. Hertzman tells the rise, fall, and afterlives of Palmares, one of history’s largest and longest-lasting maroon societies. Forged during the seventeenth century by formerly enslaved Africans in what would become northeast Brazil, Palmares stood for a century, withstanding sustained attacks from two European powers. In 1695, colonial forces assassinated its most famous leader, Zumbi. Hertzman examines the remarkable ways that Palmares and its inhabitants lived on after Zumbi’s death, creating vivid portraits of those whose lives and voices scholars have often assumed are inaccessible. With an innovative approach to African languages, and paying close attention to place as well as African and diasporic spiritual beliefs, Hertzman reshapes our understanding of Palmares and Zumbi and advances a new framework for studying fugitive slave communities and marronage in the African diaspora.
Black Women in Brazil in Slavery and Post-Emancipation
This collection of essays brings together leading experts on the history of Black women in Brazil and newly expands what we know about the subject. The essays take us through cities, plantations, and mining areas from the north to the south and across the eighteenth, nineteenth, and first decades of the twentieth century. Grounded in original research that draws from diverse sources and favors biographies, the book offers a broad and fascinating picture of the experiences of African women—those born in Africa and in Brazil, those captive and those emancipated—the first agents of the emancipated community of Africans, and their descendants in the diaspora.
Religiões negras no Brasil
Obra que discute a chegada das religiões africanas ao Brasil e sua assimilação e transformação local.

MULHERES NEGRAS NO BRASIL ESCRAVISTA E DO PÓS-EMANCIPAÇÃO
Como foi a participação das mulheres cativas na sociedade escravista e nas primeiras décadas da pós-emancipação? Como protestaram mirando a escravidão e contrariando a ideia de que aceitaram com passividade a opressão imposta? Os ensaios desta coletânea, que abrange os séculos 18 a 20, constituem um quadro amplo e fascinante das experiências das mulheres africanas, crioulas, cativas e forras.
Lugares de memória da escravidão e da cultura negra em Pernambuco
Esta obra não é necessariamente sobre a história da escravidão, ainda que ela esteja implicada em quase todas as suas páginas. Ao longo de artigos, dez autores descortinam lugares de memória da cultura negra em Pernambuco, buscando desfazer o esquecimento sobre a história da escravidão e das resistências nos espaços públicos do estado. Os textos também demonstram como foram criados apagamentos e silêncios sobre esse passado — ainda ressaltando a importância de debatê-los, para que não se perpetuem. A pesquisa contou com incentivo do Funcultura.
