Igreja, Rebecca Lemos, Richard Santos, and Carlos Agudelo: Race and Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean. A Crossview from Brazil
Between Brown and Black: Anti-Racist Activism in Brazil
With new momentum, the Brazilian black movement is working to bring attention to and change the situation of structural racism in Brazil. Black consciousness advocates are challenging Afro-Brazilians to define themselves and politically organize around being black, and more Afro-Brazilians are increasingly doing so. Other segments of the Brazilian black movement are working to influence legislation and implement formal mechanisms that aim to prom…
The subject, the other, and black political identities among Afro-Brazilians
This study combines anthropology and psychoanalysis to explore the formation of black identities in Afro-Brazilians’ antiracist struggles. Using data from long-term ethnographic fieldwork among black activists in Salvador and current observations of social media, we explore how various antiracist struggles have become discursive microsystems that organize individual identities into collective processes. Beyond analyzing Afro-Brazilian activism as…
Exu is not Satan – the dialogics of memory and resistance among Afro-Brazilians
In 2000s Brazil, an unprecedented number of Brazilian afrodescendentes (Afro-Descendants) have been mobilizing to secure rights and resources for the Brazilian black population. From carnival parading in ‘cultural’ groups to electoral campaigning, from consciousness-raising education to antiracist community outreach, black activists have been aggressively taking a critical stance toward the discursive fabric of Brazilian race relations and nation…
The Bolsonaro Election, Antiblackness, and Changing Race Relations in Brazil
We apply the concept of antiblackness and a Deleuzian approach to sociopolitical events to analyze Jair Bolsonaro's 2018 election in Brazil. Historically, Brazilians turned from overt expressions of antiblackness to subtler forms of racial prejudice, what Sérgio Buarque de Holanda (1956) called the "cordial man" who practiced a "gentlemanly" form of white supremacy. Recently, however, cordial racism has eroded in favor of more virulent and explos…
Voicing Race and Antiracism: Toward a Broader Understanding of Black Consciousness among Afro-Brazilians
Brazil has recently engaged in a wide-ranging policy shift to confront racial inequality. In this context, an unprecedented number of Afro-Brazilians have embraced antiracist activism. Based on ethnographic investigations of three black organizations in the city of Salvador (Bahia, Brazil), this article explores Afro-Brazilians’ understandings of black consciousness and its place in contemporary black mobilization in Brazil. As they tell stories …
Dialogism as Antiracist Education: Engaging with Competing Racial Ideologies inBrazil
Brazil has recently enacted sweeping policies against racial inequality, including a mandate to teachAfrican andAfro-Brazilian history and culture in schools across the country. This article analyzesAfro-Brazilian activists' heteroglossic engagement with recent legal and social changes while leading teacher-training courses. I demonstrate how participants juxtapose long-held narratives of racial mixture with the discourse of new antiracist legisl…
