About this product

Product Information

"Powerfully illustrates that Bahia has a vibrant black political history worthy of documentation, re-centering the scholarship on race and politics to the northeast where the black population is the majority."--Keisha-Khan Y. Perry, author of Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil "English-language work has rarely paid such attention to discourses in Afro-Brazilian communities on civil society inclusion and the process of democratization. This book is a significant contribution to understanding that movement for change and social justice."--Clarence Lusane, author of The Black History of the White House Brazil's black population, one of the oldest and largest in the Americas, mobilized a vibrant antiracism movement from grassroots origins when the country transitioned from dictatorship to democracy in the 1980s. Campaigning for political equality after centuries of deeply engrained racial hierarchies, African-descended groups have been working to unlock democratic spaces that were previously closed to them. Using the city of Salvador as a case study, Kwame Dixon tracks the emergence of black civil society groups and their political projects: claiming new citizenship rights, testing new anti-discrimination and affirmative action measures, reclaiming rural and urban land, and increasing political representation. This book is one of the first to explore how Afro-Brazilians have influenced politics and democratic institutions in the contemporary period. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Reviews
"Details the slow rise ofAfro-Brazilian political organization in Salvador, the majority-black capitalof Brazil's Bahia state, and sets it within such change in Brazil and theAfrican diaspora. . . . Contributes to comparative studies of the rise of blackconsciousness. . . . Recommended." -- Choice "Synthesizes the greatcomplexity of the history of what has been called 'the Brazilian blackmovement' with a special focus on the most visible location of blackness inthat country: Salvador and the state of Bahia."-- Latin American Research Review "Of great interest toscholars and students of the African diaspora and Brazilian politics." -- TheAmericas "Withouta doubt, this book is an important contribution to the emerging literature onthe black public sphere, and black politics vis-à-vis racialized civil societyin the African diaspora. . . . [This book] stands out as an engaging andserious attempt to recognize and understand the roadblocks blacks face in their(our) attempt to hold a civic existence."-- National Political Science Review, "Powerfully illustrates that Bahia has a vibrant black political history worthy of documentation, re-centering the scholarship on race and politics to the northeast where the black population is the majority." -Keisha-Khan Y.

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
