Transformation of the Self in a Time of Chaos
This essay looks at the intellectual relationship between author Angela Gilliam and Afro-Brazilian scholar-activist Abdias Nascimento. In 1968, both Gilliam and Nascimento were involved in self-examination and reinvention in terms of the positive affirmation of blackness and politicization of racial consciousness. This was a crucial time of social change and political struggle for equal rights to citizenship in Brazil and the United States. It wa…

Cultural Politics of Black Masculinity: Edmund T. Gordon and Speaking the Truth in Anthropology
The Resurgent Far Right and the Black Feminist Struggle for Social Democracy in Brazil
Black activists in Brazil have consistently reminded us that the violence of the military dictatorship (1964-1980) represented only one historical moment in the long history of white supremacist colonial violence and the legacy of slavery in the country. The resurgence of far-right violence and politics in Brazil-specifically, the concerted attempt to repeal social gains for Blacks, women, and poor people-must be understood through this broad his…
Um fim à negligência em relação aos problemas da mulher negra
O artigo é a tradução de um ensaio publicado originalmente em 1949, pela intelectual e ativista negra Claudia Jones na revista Political Affairs. No ensaio, Jones demonstra as origens e as múltipmas dimensões da dinâmica do sistema de opressão a que eram submetidas mulheres negras e critica a inabilidade dos comunistas estadunidenses em mobilizá-las. Ao argumentar que as mulheres negras compunham a fração superexplorada da classe trabalhadora, a …
Geographies of Power: Black Women Mobilizing Intersectionality in Brazil
In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, rarely are black women, especially poor black women, considered leaders of social movements, much less political theorists. While Afro-Brazilian women are at the very heart of the struggle for urban housing and land rights in Salvador, the prevailing image of black women, particularly those who live in poor neighborhoods, is that they lack the knowledge and political sophistication needed to organize…
Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil
" In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, black women, especially poor black women, are rarely considered leaders of social movements let alone political theorists. But in the northeastern city of Salvador, Brazil, it is these very women who determine how urban policies are established. Focusing on the Gamboa de Baixo neighborhood in Salvador's city center, Black Women against the Land Grab explores how black women's views on development h…

State violence and the ethnographic encounter: Feminist Research and Racial Embodiment
This article explores the idea that black urban communities in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, particularly women, are currently under siege. This article examines the confinement and silencing of the anthropologist within the overall context of State policing of black communities and black women-led grassroots movements in Salvador. I argue that engaged research methods should be analyzed within the context of the violence of recent urbanization prac…
If We Didn't Have Water: Black Women's Struggle for Urban Land Rights in Brazil
This article explores the relation between black women's quest for environmental justice and the struggle for urban land rights. Using ethnographic research conducted in Gamboa de Baixo, a coastal community in the center of Brazil's northeastern city of Salvador, I defend the claim that Afro-Brazilian religious thought has shaped blacks' relationship to the sea, and subsequently community politics defending their right to occupy the land alongsid…
