Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Um resgate da história dos quilombos no Brasil e seus desdobramentos até os dias de hoje é o tema deste livro, que nos mostra uma situação mais atual e complexa do que podemos imaginar. Hoje, espalhadas por todo o Brasil, vemos surgir comunidades negras rurais e remanescentes de quilombos. Elas são a continuidade de um processo mais longo da história da escravidão e das primeiras décadas da pós-emancipação. Não se trata de um passado imóvel, como aquilo que sobrou de um passado remoto. As comunidades de fugitivos da escravidão produziram histórias complexas de ocupação agrária, criação de territórios, cultura material e imaterial próprias baseadas no parentesco e no uso e manejo coletivo da terra. O desenvolvimento das comunidades negras contemporâneas é bastante complexo, com seus processos de identidade e luta por cidadania. A história dos quilombos - e seus desdobramentos - do passado e do presente é o tema deste livro.

Download or read book Hist rias de quilombolas written by Flávio dos Santos Gomes and published by Companhia Das Letras. This book was released on 2006 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Em Histórias de quilombolas, Flávio dos Santos Gomes retrata o mundo interligado das senzalas e dos quilombos no Rio de Janeiro do século XIX. Resultado de pesquisa primorosa feita em arquivos policiais e judiciários, o livro descreve com detalhes as ligações dos quilombolas com grupos livres e com os cativos, mostrando como os fugitivos abalavam o equilíbrio das relações escravistas. A primeira parte do livro conta como, no século XIX, os quilombos de Iguaçu, no recôncavo da Guanabara, resistiram à repressão das autoridades. Taberneiros, pequenos negociantes e escravos comerciavam com eles e os informavam sobre as expedições repressoras. A segunda parte examina a "insurreição quilombola" de Manoel Congo, em Vassouras, em 1838, de que participaram cativos africanos e "crioulos" (nascidos no Brasil), trabalhadores, domésticos e lavradores - tanto homens como mulheres. O final reúne histórias dos anos 1870 e 1880 que mostram como a crise de legitimidade do escravismo potencializou o movimento de libertação dos escravos.

Download or read book Freedom by a Thread written by Flavio Dos Santos Gomes and published by Diasporic Africa Press. This book was released on 2017-08-12 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom by a Thread: The History of Quilombos in Brazil brings together some of the best scholars in the world working on the history of quilombos (maroon societies) in Brazil from a variety of perspectives and approaches. Over 40 percent of the total volume of captive Africans arrived in Brazil during a 400-year period of legal and contraband transatlantic slaving. If slavery penetrated every aspect of Brazilian life, so did resistance—and co-existence with it—in the form of small to large-scale quilombos. Palmares and the other quilombos built an exciting history of freedom. Yet, it is a history filled with traps and surprises, advances and setbacks, conflict and commitments, while advancing their immediate interests and more ambitious projects of liberty. These events and many others are part of the history told in this book.

Download or read book Brazil A Biography written by Lilia M. Schwarcz and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping and absorbing biography of Brazil, from the sixteenth century to the present For many Americans, Brazil is a land of contradictions: vast natural resources and entrenched corruption; extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty; beautiful beaches and violence-torn favelas. Brazil occupies a vivid place in the American imagination, and yet it remains largely unknown. In an extraordinary journey that spans five hundred years, from European colonization to the 2016 Summer Olympics, Lilia M. Schwarcz and Heloisa M. Starling’s Brazil offers a rich, dramatic history of this complex country. The authors not only reconstruct the epic story of the nation but follow the shifting byways of food, art, and popular culture; the plights of minorities; and the ups and downs of economic cycles. Drawing on a range of original scholarship in history, anthropology, political science, and economics, Schwarcz and Starling reveal a long process of unfinished social, political, and economic progress and struggle, a story in which the troubled legacy of the mixing of races and postcolonial political dysfunction persist to this day.

Download or read book After Palmares written by Marc A Hertzman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History 1350 1750 written by Hamish M. Scott and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2015 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook re-examines the concept of early modern history in a European and global context. The term 'early modern' has been familiar, especially in Anglophone scholarship, for four decades and is securely established in teaching, research, and scholarly publishing. More recently, however, the unity implied in the notion has fragmented, while the usefulness and even the validity of the term, and the historical periodisation which it incorporates, have been questioned. The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 provides an account of the development of the subject during the past half-century, but primarily offers an integrated and comprehensive survey of present knowledge, together with some suggestions as to how the field is developing. It aims both to interrogate the notion of "early modernity" itself and to survey early modern Europe as an established field of study. The overriding aim will be to establish that 'early modern' is not simply a chronological label but possesses a substantive integrity. Volume II is devoted to "Cultures and Power", opening with chapters on philosophy, science, art and architecture, music, and the Enlightenment. Subsequent sections examine 'Europe beyond Europe', with the transformation of contact with other continents during the first global age, and military and political developments, notably the expansion of state power.
Download or read book What s Worship Got to Do with It written by Claudio Carvalhaes and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book connects the living realms of the church, the self, the neighbor and the world. It envisions our daily local and global life from liturgical spaces, places where Christians worship God. Through these relations, we can connect worship with economy, preaching with raising a village, baptism with forms of citizenship, ecology and the market, Easter with immigration, liturgical knees with colonization, spirituality with minority voices, all uttering prayers that name racism, poverty and a liberation theology of glory. In these pages Cláudio Carvalhaes issues a call to the churches to move from captive and colonized spaces into where the Spirit lives: among the poor, the needy, the forgotten. With a variety of relations between the Christian faith and our cultural ways of living, Carvalhaes offers new liturgical and theological imaginings to be engaged with the most vulnerable in our societies and the earth. A creative liturgical theology of liberation that makes sense of God between the world and the table/altar, between the pulpit and local communities, the worship space and our multiple lived experiences. For liturgy is an endless song of liberation. This book is a call to life!
