Música Popular Black and anti-racist struggles: Musical cosmopolitanism and the soul aesthetic in Brazil (1963-1978)
This essay reassesses the political significance of the creative impulses, performance aesthetics and artistic work that became identified collectively as Música Popular Black, and their contribution to the anti-racist cause in Brazil during the 1964-85 dictatorship. It re-evaluates how the state orthodoxy of racial nationalism and denialism was challenged, not merely in the adoption of the soul aesthetic as a marker of diasporic identification w…
The Challenges for Anti-racists in Bolsonaro’s Brazil
What should we make of the recent neo-racist turn in Brazil – the eruption of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous hate-speech on the part of senior government officials, including President Jair Bolsonaro, combined with institutional attacks on the multi-culturalist consensus of the last two decades? While symptomatic of Bolsonarismo’s determination to roll back the previous forty years of social justice reforms, the far Right’s recent attacks on mult…

Candeia, o projeto Quilombo e a militância antirracista nos anos 1970
Ao participar da ressurgência da militância antirracista em meados da década de 1970, o Grêmio Recreativo de Arte Negra Escola de Samba Quilombo, fundado pelo compositor e cantor Antônio Candeia Filho, se inspirava no grande exemplo histórico da resistência negra, ou seja, as comunidades de escravos rebeldes chamadas quilombos. Este ensaio reavalia as perspectivas do projeto Quilombo em relação ao antirracismo e à política identitária negra, e mo…
Caramuru, o mito: Conquista e conciliação
Este ensaio procura traçar a história do mito do Caramuru, considerando que as versões de Santa Rita Durão e de outros expressam atitudes diversas em relação à colonização e à nacionalidade. Fundamental para essa história é a reavaliação importante que o mito sofreu no século XIX, quando o romantismo e a ideologia liberal rejeitaram a noção de conciliação racial que se situa no centro da lenda do Caramuru
Introduction: The Atlantic, between Scylla and Charybdis
After decades of obsession with “difference,” historians, anthropologists, and other students of culture are directing their gaze to the seas and oceans as historical spaces of cultural production. Hidden dangers abound because, as historical and cultural spaces, the seas possess no visible boundaries, no inscribed landmarks, and no entitled owners; such dangers can and do, however, afford new opportunities. The seas loom up as seamless wholes th…

Guns and roses: Bossa nova and Brazil's music of popular protest, 1958-68
When the Brazilian Antônio Carlos (Tom) Jobim died in December 1994, twentieth-century Western music lost one of its greatest popular songwriters. That may be a contentious assertion, and one open to endless debate, if his work is to be judged against that of the other major composers of the age on purely aesthetic grounds. It is indisputable, though, if the criteria are Jobim's role as a founder and leading songwriter of the bossa nova movement,…

The Gathering of Voices: The Twentieth Century Poetry of Latin America
During the last hundred years, the private and public voices of Latin American poetry have offered a wealth of imaginative responses to the region's social and political experiences. In the face of capitalist modernization, dictatorship and imperialist domination, poets have fought back. Gathering of Voices argues that the best of Latin American poetry has set out to rediscover its roots in local experience and to enter a dialogue with the ordina…
