Ogun’s Warrior
The Ram’s Horns
Abdias Nascimento’s legacy is timely in a world experiencing exacerbated racial conflict and setbacks in public policy addressing inequality. This essay addresses two dimensions: on one hand, Nascimento’s life and work, and the tools he used to combat racism in the diverse realms of social and political activism as well as culture and the arts; on the other, IPEAFRO’s efforts and initiatives to make his legacy a living one, current with the needs…

Brazil
Pan-Africanism and South America
Aspects of Afro-Brazilian Experience
It is fitting that two of the essays in this issue, Abdias do Nascimento's and Rodrigues Alves's, were originally presented to the First and Second Congresses of Black Culture in the Americas (Cali, Colombia, August 1977, and Panama, March 1980).
