Militão and The Guerreiros
Between 1842 and 1848, a violent conflict erupted on the banks of the São Francisco River in nordieastern Brazil. Militão Plácido de França Antunes and his faction declared war on the family of Captain Bernardo José Guerreiro. Both families were based in the river town of Pilão Arcado, but the fighting spread to the nearby town of Sento-Sé, and by 1848 violence had engulfed the entire region from Barra to Juazeiro (see Figures 1 and 2). Bands of …
Race and National Identity in Latin America
Slave Revolts in Puerto Rico
Slave Revolts in Puerto Rico was first published in 1985 as Esclavos Rebeldes; as the preface to the English edition points out, the book caused a sensation in Puerto Rico when it first appeared. Baralt confronted head-on the facile assumption that slaves in Puerto Rico were more docile and less likely to revolt. Using historical records from a number of municipal and national archives, Baralt amply demonstrated that between 1795 and 1848 there w…
Carnavais e outras f(r)estas
The study of festivals has long been relegated to the margins of historical inquiry. In fact, theoretical structures erected by sociologists and anthropologists, which in the past tended to be universalistic and chronologically static, have kept historians from considering festivals as outward expressions of ongoing social negotiations. The authors of the articles in this volume move away from universalistic analyses and toward discussions of par…
Blacks of the Rosary
"Blacks of the Rosary tells the story of the Afro-Brazilian communities that developed within lay religious brotherhoods dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary in Minas Gerais. It shows how these brotherhoods functioned as a social space in which Africans and their descendants could rebuild a communal identity based on a shared history of an African past and an ongoing devotional practice, thereby giving rise to enduring transnational cultures that …
Blacks of the Rosary. Memory and History in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Reis negros no Brasil escravista
This valuable study places the question of the origin and endurance of black kings in Brazil in the context of the broader Atlantic world in order to unravel the meaning of their ubiquitous presence in Brazil and throughout the Americas. Mello e Souza posits that the coronation of Congo Kings in nineteenth-century Brazil tied black Catholics to a foundational and unifying myth of an African past while integrating them as a community. Thus, the de…
Who Is the King of Congo? A New Look at African and Afro-Brazilian Kings in Brazil
INTRODUCTION Throughout the Americas, Reis Congos , or Kings of Congo, have appeared in religious festivals and ritual dramas. Wherever Africans and their descendants suffered enslavement, the election of kings and queens went with them, and in many cases these elections have continued to the present day. In Brazil, Kings of Congo play an important role in festivals with names as diverse as congados, congadas, congos, cucumbis, maracatus, mozambi…
Central Africans and Cultural Transformations in the American Diaspora
This book, first published in 2001, sets out a paradigm that increases our understanding of African culture and the forces that led to its transformation during the period of the Atlantic slave trade and beyond, putting long over-due emphasis on the importance of Central African culture to the cultures of the United States, Brazil, and the Caribbean. Focusing on the Kongo/Angola culture zone, the book illustrates how African peoples re-shaped the…
Ethnic and Racial Identity in the Brotherhoods of the Rosary of Minas Gerais, 1700-1830
The participants in the festivals of the rosary in Minas Gerais tell a story about the beginning of the devotion of the blacks to Our Lady of the Rosary. In the story, a black slave sees Our Lady of the Rosary out in the sea rocking on top of the waves. When he tells his master, the master and the priests rush down to the water, but are unable to coax her to come to shore. In frustration, they leave the task to the blacks. Blacks from different A…
