The Pacific Route
This article explores the Brazilian aftermath of Japan’s unsuccessful bid to include racial equality as a principle in the League of Nations charter in 1919. While U.S. and Japan specialists have written about the proposal, its little-known fallout in Brazil contains key insights about racial ideology and the contested meanings of racial equality in the aftermath of World War I. The Brazilian side of the story, which overlapped with a contentious…
"The "Indians of Palmares
This article examines a group that has received little scholarly attention: the Indigenous people of Palmares, the site of one of history's largest fugitive slave communities, defeated by the Portuguese in 1695. What studies do exist emphasize origins: Did Indigenous people help build the fugitive settlements of Palmares? I instead focus on the post-1695 period, when competing actors sought land in the interior regions that the settlements once o…
Martha Abreu, Da senzala ao palco. Canções escravas e racismo nas Américas, 1870-1930
During the nineteenth century, writes Ronald Radano, “Black musical forms produced a kind of valuative loss for whites by giving material form to that which lay beyond their grasp.” As European visitors and others commented on the prevalence of Black musical forms in the U.S. south—and as blackface minstrelsy became a vehicle for depicting slave culture—Black music came to represent something that even masters could not fully own. This genie slip…
Fatal Differences
This essay examines the relationship between race and suicide in the Americas. I show how ideas about suicide helped generate and reinforce multiple forms of racial difference and demonstrate how colonial ideas survived long after independence and the abolition of slavery, often in new forms. The extant historiography on suicide emphasizes moral, religious, and medico-legal responses to self-destruction. Less attention has been paid to race or to…
Os Ciclos Do Samba

Toward and against a Sounded History
Music can be an abstract and confounding thing. It is “central to human life,” wrote Oliver Sacks, “yet it has no concepts, makes no propositions; it lacks images, symbols, the stuff of language. . . . It has no necessary relation to the world.”1 Music can also seem magical. “Profound music,” Cornel West attests, “leads us—beyond language—to the dark roots of our scream and the celestial heights of our silence.”2 Somewhat paradoxically, for all i…
Where’s the Empire in Brazilian Empire? Race, Gender, and Imperial Nostalgia in Brazil
Existia um imperialismo brasileiro? O termo “império brasileiro” é uma daquelas que os estudiosos utilizam muito mas interrogam pouco. Este artigo considera o significado da palavra império no contexto brasileiro, utilizando como fonte de inspiração ideias desenvolvidas por Wiebke Ipsen, historiadora que faleceu em 2009 depois de uma luta prolongada com câncer. Baseado em pesquisa original, o artigo utiliza duas pessoas, uma esquecida e outra mui…

Making Samba
Marc Hertzman's "Making Samba: A New History of Race and Music in Brazil" offers a nuanced and complex understanding of samba's evolution, challenging simplistic narratives that frame it solely as a product of Black Brazilian culture. Hertzman argues that samba emerged from a dynamic interplay of racial and cultural influences, including Afro-Brazilian, European, and indigenous traditions. He traces the genre's development from its early roots in…
Making Music and Masculinity in Vagrancy's Shadow
This article discusses strategies which Afro-Brazilian men used to distance themselves from demeaning assumptions and stereotypes attached to slavery and vagrancy in Rio de Janeiro. The piece focuses on the first 50 years after abolition (1888) but also shows how the ideologia da vadiagem-a set of ideas and stereotypes which defined black, poor, and mixed-race men and women as lazy and inferior-cast a long shadow deep into the twentieth century. …
