Book excerpt: O movimento negro contemporâneo, a partir da década de 1970, tem crescido, se transformado, diversificado suas formas de atuação e também tem obtido algumas importantes conquistas. Como movimento social e como parte do processo de contestação e modernização que caracterizaram os últimos anos da ditadura militar, foi que o movimento negro brasileiro contemporâneo se organizou. Este movimento tem contribuído de maneira fundamental para dar visibilidade a sujeitos que fazem parte da história do Brasil e que até bem pouco tempo eram invisíveis para a nossa sociedade. A partir de uma ampla pesquisa em jornais e arquivos privados, no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, o professor Amilcar Araujo Pereira nos conta a história dos processos de construção de uma agenda política negra no Brasil. O autor partiu de um expressivo conjunto de entrevistas com lideranças daquele processo, espalhadas por todo o Brasil, que falaram sobre suas principais influências teóricas para a construção da crítica ao chamado mito da democracia racial no país. Amilcar Araujo Pereira é doutor em História pela Universidade Federal Fluminense, com estágio doutoral na Johns Hopkins University, nos Estados Unidos, e professor de Ensino de História na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
Download or read book Dona Ivone Lara s Sorriso Negro written by Mila Burns and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than simply a paragon of Brazilian samba, Dona (Lady) Ivone Lara's 1981 Sorriso Negro (translated to Black Smile) is an album deeply embedded in the political and social tensions of its time. Released less than two years after the Brazilian military dictatorship approved the Lei de Anistia (the "Opening" that put Brazil on a path toward democratic governance), Sorriso Negro reflects the seminal shifts occurring within Brazilian society as former exiles reinforced notions of civil rights and feminist thought in a nation under the iron hand of a military dictatorship that had been in place since 1964. By looking at one of the most important samba albums ever recorded (and one that also happened to be authored by a black woman), Mila Burns explores the pathbreaking career of Dona Ivone Lara, tracing the ways in which she navigated the tense gender and race relations of the samba universe to ultimately conquer the masculine world of samba composers. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.

Download or read book Unsettling Brazil written by Desirée Poets and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this work, Desirée Poets posits that contemporary Brazil is a settler colony. Based on ethnographic research and her experiences growing up in Brazil, the book tells the stories of communities in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte-two quilombos, two Indigenous movements, and a favela-to unravel the continuities and discontinuities of Brazil's settler colonial structure. As Poets argues, settler colonialism is renewed through expectations of Indigenous and quilombola authenticity as well as through militarization, incarceration, genocide, and marginalization that continuously attempt to dispossess and eliminate Black and Indigenous peoples from the political landscape, including in its urban centers. Placing these dynamics under one analytic lens, Poets navigates how the dependent settler capitalist state has related to different Indigenous and Black groups with distinct yet interrelated effects. She thereby challenges the still-common separation of Black and Indigenous politics and peoples in policy, activism, and scholarship. Building on the work of Black and Indigenous organizers and thinkers from Brazil and beyond, she makes the case for an intersectional and transnational lens that centers the intellectual, political, and creative labor of Black and Indigenous peoples. The book foregrounds their resistances to settler capitalism and dependency. Common themes in Brazilian and Latin American studies emerge, and Poets's theoretical contributions are relevant to other countries. They also invigorate a dialogue between North America and South America. The powerful narrative will be invaluable to scholars and students of Brazil and Latin America and encourage an imagining of decolonial strategies in both hegemonic and peripheral settler colonial contexts around the globe"--
Download or read book The Consequences of Brazilian Social Movements in Historical Perspective written by Valesca Lima and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 stemming from the collective action of social movements. Showcasing various approaches, the book encompasses a plurality of methodological perspectives including network analysis, collective memory, trajectories, and quantitative techniques of process analysis. Ultimately, the authors present new empirical evidence about social movement outcomes in Brazil, including the mobilization for housing rights, institutionalization processes in a re-democratized society, the effects of anti-dictatorship movements on activists, transformations of political agendas and the diffusion of social protests. Interdisciplinary at its core and highly engaging, The Consequences of Brazilian Social Movements in Historical Perspective offers essential reading on social movement studies to academics, activists and students.
Download or read book Saber do negro written by Joel Rufino dos Santos and published by Pallas Editora. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saber do negro resultou de uma pesquisa intitulada "Relações Brasil-África entre os séculos XVI e XIX", realizada por Joel Rufino dos Santos. Entre os produtos da pesquisa, este livro, em particular, discute, com uma abordagem historiográfica, o papel desempenhado pelo negro na história do Brasil. O texto procura simultaneamente fazer um levantamento do que o negro sabe, do que se sabe sobre o negro e, na confluência dessas duas vias, do que o negro sabe de si, a visão sobre si mesmo que o negro vem construindo no Brasil. O tema é desenvolvido sob três aspectos, que costumam ser considerados como as etapas da história dos negros no Brasil: a rebeldia expressa nos levantes escravos e nos quilombos, a marginalização dos ex-escravos e seus descendentes, e a luta contra o racismo configurada no movimento negro moderno. Cada capítulo é composto por um texto que apresenta o assunto de forma organizada, seguido por uma seção de notas que reúnem uma grande quantidade de referências bibliográficas e citações de estudos essenciais sobre o tema, além de alguns detalhes adicionais. Assim, mais que um livro-texto fechado e acabado, Saber do negro é um roteiro estratégico para o estudo da história do negro brasileiro.
Download or read book Contracultura written by Christopher Dunn and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Dunn's history of authoritarian Brazil exposes the inventive cultural production and intense social transformations that emerged during the rule of an iron-fisted military regime during the sixties and seventies. The Brazilian contracultura was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that developed alongside the ascent of hardline forces within the regime in the late 1960s. Focusing on urban, middle-class Brazilians often inspired by the international counterculture that flourished in the United States and parts of western Europe, Dunn shows how new understandings of race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship erupted under even the most oppressive political conditions. Dunn reveals previously ignored connections between the counterculture and Brazilian music, literature, film, visual arts, and alternative journalism. In chronicling desbunde, the Brazilian hippie movement, he shows how the state of Bahia, renowned for its Afro-Brazilian culture, emerged as a countercultural mecca for youth in search of spiritual alternatives. As this critical and expansive book demonstrates, many of the country's social and justice movements have their origins in the countercultural attitudes, practices, and sensibilities that flourished during the military dictatorship.
Download or read book Politics of Memory written by Ana Lucia Araujo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public memory of slavery and the Atlantic slave trade, which some years ago could be observed especially in North America, has slowly emerged into a transnational phenomenon now encompassing Europe, Africa, and Latin America, and even Asia – allowing the populations of African descent, organized groups, governments, non-governmental organizations and societies in these different regions to individually and collectively update and reconstruct the slave past. This edited volume examines the recent transnational emergence of the public memory of slavery, shedding light on the work of memory produced by groups of individuals who are descendants of slaves. The chapters in this book explore how the memory of the enslaved and slavers is shaped and displayed in the public space not only in the former slave societies but also in the regions that provided captives to the former American colonies and European metropoles. Through the analysis of exhibitions, museums, monuments, accounts, and public performances, the volume makes sense of the political stakes involved in the phenomenon of memorialization of slavery and the slave trade in the public sphere.
Download or read book Brazilian Psychosocial Histories of Psychoanalysis written by Belinda Mandelbaum and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a critical history of psychoanalysis in Brazil. Written mainly by Brazilian historians and practitioners of psychoanalysis, the chapters address some central questions about psychoanalysis’ social role. How did psychoanalysis develop and flourish in a society in which modernisation was accompanied by inequality, authoritarianism and violence? How did psychoanalysis survive in Brazil alongside censorship and repression? Through a variety of lenses, the contributors demonstrate how psychoanalysis in Brazil presented itself as progressive and transformative and maintained this self-image even as it developed institutional structures that reproduce the authoritarianism of the wider society. This novel work offers rich conceptual and practical insights for academic researchers and practitioners of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and addresses methodological questions of concern to academics working across the social sciences. Crucially, it also outlines a distinctive vision of psychoanalysis seen through a Brazilian lens, which will be of interest to readers seeking to confront the Eurocentric and North American bias of much psychoanalytic debate.

Download or read book Challenging History in the Museum written by Jenny Kidd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging History in the Museum explores work with difficult, contested and sensitive heritages in a range of museum contexts. It is based on the Challenging History project, which brings together a wide range of heritage professionals, practitioners and academics to explore heritage and museum learning programmes in relation to difficult and controversial subjects. The book is divided into four sections. Part I, ’The Emotional Museum’ examines the balance between empathic and emotional engagement and an objective, rational understanding of ’history’. Part II, ’Challenging Collaborations’ explores the opportunities and pitfalls associated with collective, inclusive representations of our heritage. Part III, ’Ethics, Ownership, Identity’ questions who is best-qualified to identify, represent and ’own’ these histories. It challenges the concept of ownership and personal identification as a prerequisite to understanding, and investigates the ideas and controversies surrounding this premise. Part IV, ’Teaching Challenging History’ helps us to explore the ethics and complexities of how challenging histories are taught. The book draws on work countries around the world including Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, England, Germany, Japan, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Spain and USA and crosses a number of disciplines: Museum and Heritage Studies, Cultural Policy Studies, Performance Studies, Media Studies and Critical Theory Studies. It will also be of interest to scholars of Cultural History and Art History.
Download or read book Uma hist ria feita por m os negras written by Beatriz Nascimento and published by Editora Schwarcz - Companhia das Letras. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historiadora, professora, poeta e ativista, Beatriz Nascimento deixou um legado intelectual múltiplo e profundo. Esta coletânea oferece um panorama amplo de seu pensamento, reunindo alguns de seus principais artigos, ensaios e resenhas, escritos entre os anos de 1974-94. Pensadora insurgente à frente de seu tempo, Beatriz Nascimento dedicou-se a resgatar a história do negro no Brasil — algo ainda a ser construído, ela defendia. Uma história negra, feita por pessoas negras, com o intuito de romper com quatro séculos de invisibilização numa sociedade da qual elas participaram em todos os níveis. Com organização primorosa do antropólogo Alex Ratts, os 24 textos aqui selecionados reafirmam os aspectos centrais de sua obra — as relações raciais e de gênero; as formulações sobre a contribuição do negro na construção da sociedade brasileira; a recusa do discurso que reduz a problemática racial a uma questão econômica e social, sem uma compreensão existencial do indivíduo; e, sobretudo, as pesquisas sobre os quilombos no Brasil, suas relações com a África e como se reconfiguraram para ser não apenas espaço de resistência, mas um sistema social alternativo. Completam ainda este conjunto escritos da autora marcados pelas transformações políticas e sociais a partir da década de 1980 — como o fim dos governos militares e a vigência da nova Constituição — e por inflexões pessoais e memórias — como em "Carta de Catarina", texto de maturidade e síntese no qual ela discorre sobre o movimento negro, a diáspora e suas poéticas, além do processo de feitura do filme Orí, obra fundamental para conhecer, ver e ouvir a potência dessa mulher transatlântica. "Com Beatriz Nascimento, temos um modo de ver e conhecer outra face do Brasil." — Sueli Carneiro "A essa mulher devemos o renascimento do movimento negro no Rio de Janeiro nos anos 1970. Por favor, não se esqueçam disso!" — Lélia Gonzalez
Download or read book Becoming Black Political Subjects written by Tianna Paschel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land, health, education, and development policy. Becoming Black Political Subjects explores this shift from color blindness to ethno-racial legislation in two of the most important cases in the region: Colombia and Brazil. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, Tianna Paschel shows how, over a short period, black movements and their claims went from being marginalized to become institutionalized into the law, state bureaucracies, and mainstream politics. The strategic actions of a small group of black activists—working in the context of domestic unrest and the international community's growing interest in ethno-racial issues—successfully brought about change. Paschel also examines the consequences of these reforms, including the institutionalization of certain ideas of blackness, the reconfiguration of black movement organizations, and the unmaking of black rights in the face of reactionary movements. Becoming Black Political Subjects offers important insights into the changing landscape of race and Latin American politics and provokes readers to adopt a more transnational and flexible understanding of social movements.
