La fiesta de los negros: Una historia del antiguo carnaval de Buenos Aires y su legado en la cultura popular. By Ezequiel Adamovsky
‘In defense of the people of color of South America’: A new source for twentieth-century Afro-Argentine history and thought
Buenos Aires' robust Afrodescendant press in the late nineteenth century has allowed scholars to reconstruct Afro-Argentine thought and associational life during a nation-building process aimed at forcefully integrating Afrodescendants into a citizenship imagined as homogenous, racially white, and culturally European. This scholarship has helped to refute narratives of 'disappearance' of Black populations and to replace the diagnosis of 'invisibi…

Racial Storytelling in the Classroom
As awareness of "narrative persuasion" surfaces into collective consciousness in the present-day United States, alongside struggles over whether and how to grapple with histories of slavery and racism, the stakes around racial storytelling in the classroom-around which stories about race and belonging get told or cast aside-have become abundantly clear. The power of stories to shape and naturalize beliefs can be mobilized for racist, dehumanizing…
Shifting the Meaning of Democracy: Race, Politics, and Culture in the United States and Brazil
Jessica Lynn Graham's book upends the story of Brazilian exceptionalism as a “racial democracy,” persistent even in the extensive scholarship contextualizing that nationalist ideology. Using an impressive array of sources from Brazil and the United States—diplomatic and congressional records, party propaganda, the Black press, and the files of secret or political police, among others—Graham tells a new story in which racial democracy's language a…
Afrikaans in Patagonia: Language shift and cultural integration in a rural immigrant community
Chubut Province, in Patagonia, Argentina, is home to a group of Afrikaans-speaking Boers, descendants of those who-starting in 1902-came to Argentina from the region of present-day South Africa. Although little Afrikaans is spoken among fourth- and fifth-generation community members, many in the third generation (60 years and older) still maintain the language. According to Joshua Fishman's model of generational language shift, the Boers' Afrikaa…
Liberta by Trade: Negotiating the Terms of Unfree Labor in Gradual Abolition Buenos Aires (1820s–30s)
This article offers a microhistory of the trajectories toward freedom of three generations of Afrodescendant women in a single household in early-nineteenth-century Buenos Aires (Argentina) during the gradual abolition of slavery. Their stories demonstrate the precariousness of freedom in a society often considered peripheral to geographies of American slavery and celebrated for its purportedly exceptional racelessness and class dynamism. But the…
Becoming Brazilians: Race and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Brazil
Becoming Brazilians poses a familiar and seemingly simple question: How, over the course of the twentieth century, did so many Brazilians come to feel that they belonged to a national community defined by racial and cultural mixture, or mestiçagem? Eakin provides a novel, complex answer by harnessing the power of a vast interdisciplinary field as part of a generous conversation with Brazilian and Brazilianist colleagues, producing an impressively…
When Rio was Black: Soul Music, National Culture, and the Politics of Racial Comparison in 1970s Brazil
In July 1976, the Jornal do Brasil's Saturday cultural supplement ran four full pages with a troubling subject. Rio de Janeiro was turning "black," journalist Lena Frias told readers. A wave of dance parties playing soul and funk music from the United States had overtaken recreational clubs in Rio's subúrbios, the working-class neighborhoods to the north and west of downtown, and was threatening to invade the wealthier (and whiter) neighborhoods …

Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina
This book reconsiders the relationship between race and nation in Argentina during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and places Argentina firmly in dialog with the literature on race and nation in Latin America, from where it has long been excluded or marginalized for being a white, European exception in a mixed-race region. The contributors, based both in North America and Argentina, hail from the fields of history, anthropology, and lite…
Quando O Rio Era Black: Soul Music No Brasil Dos Anos 70

El Negro Raúl: Lives and Afterlives of an Afro-Argentine Celebrity, 1886 to the Present
This article analyzes the rich corpus of stories about the dandy-turned-beggar Raúl Grigera, a popular Afro-Argentine street figure from early 1900s Buenos Aires. Stories about El Negro Raúl, told in hundreds of printed texts and images across multiple genres from the early 1900s to the present, reflected and reproduced ideas about degraded and disappearing blackness, and triumphant whiteness, in Argentina. Reading these racial stories alongside …

Terms of Inclusion: Black Intellectuals in Twentieth-Century Brazil
This history of black thought and racial activism in twentieth-century Brazil demonstrates that black intellectuals, and not just elite white Brazilians, shaped discourses about race relations and the cultural and political terms of inclusion in their modern nation. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including the prolific black press of the era, and focusing on the influential urban centers of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador da Bahia, t…
A Poverty of Rights: Citizenship and Inequality in Twentieth-Century Rio de Janeiro
In this superbly researched book, Brodwyn Fischer chronicles the intertwined histories of poor people’s experiences of the city of Rio de Janeiro and their citizenship as Brazilians in the middle decades of the twentieth century. Fischer untangles the paradoxical processes by which the expansion of social, economic, and political rights in this period nonetheless resulted in a “poverty of rights” for the urban poor of Rio de Janeiro: a status as …

Blacks of the Rosary. Elizabeth W. Kiddy: Penn State University Press, 2005
Combining detailed archival research with oral history, Elizabeth W. Kiddy's Blacks of the Rosary tells the story of self-identified "black" (preto) lay religious brotherhoods in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais from the early colonial period to the present. Through this broad temporal lens, Kiddy aims to show how brotherhoods dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary of the Blacks, and the present-day Afro-Brazilian congados or ritual communities t…
