Escravidão na Era da Emancipação: Vítimas e Rebeldes no Tráfico Interno de Escravizados (Brasil, Século XIX)
A trajetória da escravidão para a liberdade é geralmente contada de forma linear, mas para milhares de negros nas Américas, as últimas décadas do século XIX foram uma época de expansão da escravidão. No Brasil, o comércio interno de escravizados deslocou mais de 200.000 pessoas das plantações do nordeste para a região centro-sul, onde a agricultura comercial de café rapidamente se tornava o principal setor de exportação do país. Cada vez mais, es…

AHR Conversation: Black Internationalism
This annual AHR Conversation focuses on the issues and historiographic debates raised by the term "Black Internationalism." Participants Monique Bedasse, Kim D. Butler, Carlos Fernandes, Dennis Laumann, Tejasvi Nagaraja, Benjamin Talton, and Kira Thurman bring a wide array of interests and areas of expertise to bear on the origins, evolution, and meaning of the concept of Black Internationalism; its application within Africa, the U.S., and the Af…
Mapping Diaspora: African American Roots Tourism in Brazil
The city of Salvador has long cultivated an image as a bearer of African cultural heritage in the Americas, a “mecca,” as put famously by Eugenia Anna dos Santos, one of the women who helped shape this identity early in the twentieth century. It is this sense of Bahia as a site of pilgrimage that Patricia Pinho explores in Mapping Diaspora. Though black travelers have long engaged with Brazil, over the past several decades a particular strand of …
Masquerading Africa in the Carnival of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil 1895–1905
This article examines the ways in which black carnival clubs in Salvador, Bahia strategically used African themes and representations to negotiate social, political, and cultural space just after abolition in Brazil, which also coincided with the first years of the Republic. Contemporary newspaper accounts reveal a distinctly Bahian perspective on emerging black cosmopolitanism and pan-Africanism that deepens our understanding of this era in Afri…
Race in Postabolition Afro-Latin America
This article discusses race relations in postabolition Afro-Latin America. It shows that, contrary to the Lusocentrism of the recent historiography on slavery, much has been written in the past few decades about race and blackness in the Caribbean and in Spanish America.
The Tangled Business of Diaspora-Making
Since the inception of the field of African diaspora studies, its scholars have called attention to the many routes of travel and communication that constitute the strands from which the whole is woven. It has necessarily been a work of empirical recovery of far-flung histories that the archive captures only peripherally and, though there has been much focus on interactions between the African continent and its diasporas, relationships between di…

Slavery in the Age of Emancipation: Victims and Rebels in Brazil’s Late 19th-Century Domestic Trade
The trajectory from slavery to freedom is generally told in linear fashion, yet for thousands of Black people in the Americas, the last decades of slavery were a time of expanding bondage. In Brazil, an internal slave trade shifted over 200,000 people from struggling northeastern plantations to the south-central region, where commercial coffee agriculture was quickly becoming the nation’s principal export sector. Scholars are increasingly explori…

From Black History to Diasporan History: Brazilian Abolition in Afro-Atlantic Context
L'A. examine la construction et l'utilisation d'une structure diasporique pour analyser l'histoire afro-atlantique pendant la periode suivant l'abolition de l'esclavage. Il synthetise les resultats de ses recherches portant sur les cinquante premieres annees suivant la fin de l'esclavage au Bresil (1888-1938).

Freedoms Given, Freedoms Won: Afro-Brazilians in Post-Abolition São Paolo and Salvador
Freedoms Given, Freedoms Won is the first book-length study devoted to understanding the political life of urban Afro-Brazilians in the aftermath of abolition. It explores the ways Afro-Brazilians in two major cities adapted to the new conditions of life after slavery and how they confronted limitations placed on their new freedom. The book sets forth new ways of understanding why the abolition of slavery did not yield equitable fruits of citizen…
Orpheus and Power: The "Movimento Negro" of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1945-1988
Up From Slavery: Afro-Brazilian Activism in São Paulo, 1888-1938
Throughout the centuries of slavery in the Americas and the Caribbean, Africans and their descendants struggled against a social system that sought to reduce them to chattel. They found that their struggle was to continue, albeit in different forms, long after abolition. In Brazil, emancipation in 1888 was followed the next year by the demise of imperial government and the installation of the First Republic. This created a new political and legal…
