Afro-Catholic Festivals in the Americas: Performance, Representation, and the Making of Black Atlantic Tradition
This volume demonstrates how, from the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade, enslaved and free Africans in the Americas used Catholicism and Christian-derived celebrations as spaces for autonomous cultural expression, social organization, and political empowerment.

Disease, Resistance, and Lies: The Demise of the Transatlantic Slave Trade to Brazil and Cuba
Until close to the end of the twentieth century, the slave trade was interpreted by Brazilian historians as yet another intrinsic mechanism of the colonial system responsible for transferring income from the colony to the Portuguese metropole and the United States—a dynamic that led inevitably to Brazilian underdevelopment and US growth. This was caused by Portuguese merchants' monopoly on the slave trade to Brazil, which was structured in two tr…

Tropical Empiricism
By analyzing several medical treatises written during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this chapter discusses the experience that the authors of these texts accumulated by practicing medicine in colonial Brazil.
