Language as hope By Daniel N.Silva and Jerry WonLee, Cambridge
A politicized ecology of resilience
Brazil has endured multiple political, economic, and environmental crises—and now the COVID-19 pandemic—which have drawn social inequalities into razor sharp relief. This contribution analyzes the resilience of rural families facing these crises in southern Bahia. These families have benefited from various redistributive policies over the years, including redistributive land reforms (RLRs), conditional cash transfers (CCTs), and recent emergency …
Accumulation by agricultural extension
Since 1995, family farming in Brazil has been heavily financialized through the federal PRONAF program, which has simultaneously created new opportunities for third parties to capture and control financial resources for themselves. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic research with land rights movements on the southern coast of Bahia, Brazil, this contribution analyses a case of accumulation by agricultural extension , as a predatory form of financi…
Between shame and a shared world
This article develops a democratized account of heterodoxy that draws attention to how heterodoxical discourses may implicitly arise through social interaction. The analysis is based on one rural Brazilian woman's claim that it tastes better to eat beans and rice by using one's fingers. Formerly common in Brazil prior to the 20th century-across identities, regions, and classes-the practice of "eating by hand" was gradually erased from public life…
Caring Masculinities
Black Beans, White Rice
Following the implosion of the “racial democracy” myth, scholars have debated the role of cultural imperialism apparent in the shift toward dichotomous “black-white” expressions of race in Brazil. This contribution situates quotidian expressions of cultural imperialism at the heart of racialization projects. Building from research on “blackness” as a transnational historical phenomenon, this article examines how one particular expression of cultu…
From sharecropping to equal shares
Conserver la nature humaine et non humaine
Cet article défend un concept de ' conservation conviviale ', conçu ici comme ' un effort visant à établir des interdépendances vitales entre les humains et les écosystèmes, en vue de leur régénération mutuelle '. En nous appuyant sur des recherches ethnographiques que nous avons menées auprès de communautés subalternes d'Amérique latine, autochtones ou non, nous nous concentrons sur les communautés rurales brésiliennes de squatters apparues dans…
Corruption Wars
Devouring the Public Good
The small town of Itubera, on the southern coast of Bahia, Brazil, was filled with action on November 6, 2018. According to WhatsApp messages from friends on the ground that day, some 115 federal p
Scattered Limbs
Este artigo analisa um land grab que ocorreu na região cacaueira da Bahia entre as décadas de 1950 e 1970, despojando centenas de pessoas, muitas delas afrodescendentes, que tinham se refugiado nas florestas da região após a abolição da escravidão. O land grab foi inaugurado por um dos mais importantes capitalistas brasileiros, Norberto Odebrecht, cuja ascensão no sul da Bahia foi pouco tratada pela historiografia. O artigo descreve a chegada de …
Odebrecht’s Original Sins
Beatriz1 was born in 1939 near Itubera, a small town on the southern coast of Bahia, Brazil. A proud Afro-Brazilian, she grew up with her parents in the hills and forests west of town. Beatriz's pa
The Mind of the Copaíba Tree
This article analyzes ritualized prescriptions for harvesting oleoresin or “oil” from the copaíba tree in Brazil. These harvesting prescriptions involve increasingly complex attributions of mind to the copaíba tree itself. The copaíba tree is widespread throughout the Americas, and for centuries has been well-known for the medicinal oil that can be extracted from its trunk. In Brazil, contemporary knowledge of the copaíba tree is bound up with co…
Trees and springs as social property
Questions concerning the maldistribution of property and productive resources continue to inform debates about how to bring about societies that are livable, equitable, and ecologically sustainable. In the diverse imaginaries of revolutionary, utopian, socialist, and anti-capitalist politics—together with their adversaries— the notions of "collective" and "private" property have often been conceived as mutually exclusive and exhaustive alternativ…
The Landless invading the landless
This contribution draws on Nancy Fraser's concept of 'participatory parity' to analyze the reproduction and contestation of inequalities internal to land reform settlements affiliated with the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST) located in the cacao lands of southern Bahia, Brazil. These inequalities are variously manifest in unequal control over land and legal documents, disparities in status and what Fraser calls 'voice'. These circumstances…
"Feeding the Nation" and "Protecting the Watershed"
Tensions between efforts to preserve threatened ecosystems and efforts to improve the life conditions of people who inhabit such areas are of increasing concern in environmental science, policy, and practice. In our research with farmers in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, we have identified a range of forces, factors, and ideas that influence how farmers develop production strategies and make choices about resource use that have consequences for l…
