African Diaspora in Brazil
The term 'Black Atlantic' was coined to describe the social, cultural and political space that emerged out of the experience of slavery, exile, oppression, exploitation and resistance. This volume seeks to recast a new map of the 'Black Atlantic' beyond the Anglophone Atlantic zone by focusing on Brazil as a social and cultural space born out of the Atlantic slave trade. The contributors draw from the recently reinvigorated scholarly debates which have shifted inquiry from the explicit study of cultural 'survival' and 'acculturation' towards an emphasis on placing Africans and their descendants at the center of their own histories. Going beyond the notion of cultural 'survival' or 'creolizat...
Orpheus and Power
From recent data on disparities between Brazilian whites and non-whites in areas of health, education, and welfare, it is clear that vast racial inequalities do exist in Brazil, contrary to earlier assertions in race relations scholarship that the country is a "racial democracy." Here Michael George Hanchard explores the implications of this increasingly evident racial inequality, highlighting Afro-Brazilian attempts at mobilizing for civil rights and the powerful efforts of white elites to neutralize such attempts. Within a neo-Gramscian framework, Hanchard shows how racial hegemony in Brazil has hampered ethnic and racial identification among non-whites by simultaneously promoting racial d...
Hemispheric Blackness and the Exigencies of Accountability
Hemispheric Blackness and the Exigencies of Accountability examines the way Afrodescendant and Black communities use the land on which they live, the rule of law, and their bodies to assert their historical, ontological, and physical presence across South, Central, and North America. Their demand for the recognition of ancestral lands, responsive policies, and human rights sheds new light on their permanent yet tenuous presence throughout the region. The authors argue that by deploying a discourse of transcontinental historical continuity, Black communities assert their presence in local, national, and international political spheres. This conceptualization of hemispheric Blackness is the driving force confronting the historical loss, dismissal, and disparagement of Black lives across the Américas. Through twelve case studies that cover a wide range of locations, their work examines contemporary manifestations of sovereignty of Black body and mind, Black-Indigenous nexuses, and national revisions that challenge more than a quincentennial of denial and state unaccountability in the hemisphere.
A Cor Da Demanda
As muitas mulheres negras presentes no romance Água de barrela, de Eliana Alves Cruz encontram no lavar, passar, enxaguar e quarar das roupas das patroas e sinhás brancas um modo de sobrevivência em quase trezentos anos de história, desde o Brasil na época da colônia até o início do século XX. O título do romance remete a esse procedimento utilizado por essas mulheres negras de diferentes gerações e que garantiu o sustento e a existência de seus filhos e netos em situações de exploração, miséria e escravidão. A narrativa inicia-se com a comemoração do aniversário de umas das personagens após viver um século de muitas lutas, perdas, alegrias, tristezas e principalmente resiliência. Damiana, personagem central para a narrativa, cansada das batalhas constante e ininterruptamente travadas pela liberdade, se vê rodeada por sua família e se recorda dos tempos de lavadeira.
Black notebooks
"This bilingual volume brings together the first comprehensive compilation of Afro-Brazilian literature produced by the Quilombhoje group over three decades of their existence as a cultural and political movement in Brazil. Comparable to the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, Quilombhoje continues the tradition of the Quilombo, a communal sense of cultural resistance, survival and renewal assumed by descendants of Africans who refused to be enslaved. In producing poetry and prose through the Cadernos Negros series, contemporary Afro-Brazilian writers make a cogent statement against the stereotypical images of blackness while formulating a defiant and regenerativ...

A Galinha Garnisé e outros Eusébios de Queirós: Racismo na sociabilidade brasileira
A Galinha Garnisé e outros Eusébios de Queirós “Se eu deixar alguma das minhas utopias para trás, não chegarei a lugar nenhum.” É exatamente por não abandonar suas utopias que o poeta, escritor, contista e historiador Éle Semog – no limiar das pressões e retrocessos políticos dos últimos tempos – canalizou as angústias de quem vê e sente tudo de dentro, nesta coletânea das palestras proferidas em suas andanças por este país afora, ministradas na maioria das vezes em ações do movimento negro e na academia, num caminhar sempre em conexão com as lutas de seu povo negro, como ele costuma dizer: “Meu projeto de vida é e sempre foi coletivo”. Talvez também por isso...
