Produktbeschreibung

This collection of articles has as its focus the Afro-Brazilian culture of the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil and its linkage to politics during the 19th century and up to today. A group of interdisciplinary and international scholars bring historical and contemporary perspectives to central issues facing Afro-Brazilians: their relationship to the state and the place of Afro-Brazilian culture in the larger Brazilian society. Topics addressed include the relationship between free and freed 19th century Afro-Brazilians and the state, the black militia, the candomble religion, land reform, and contemporary cultural movements.
