Black Women in Brazil in Slavery and Post-Emancipation

šŸŒšŸŒšŸŒ This collection of essays brings together leading experts on the history of Black women in Brazil and newly expands what we know about the subject. The essays take us through cities, plantations, and mining areas from the north to the south and across the eighteenth, nineteenth, and firstĀ decades of the twentieth century. Grounded in original research that draws fromĀ diverse sources and favors biographies, the book offers a broad and fascinatingĀ picture of the experiences of African womenā€”those born in AfricaĀ and in Brazil, those captive and those emancipatedā€”the first agents of theĀ emancipated community of Africans, and their descendants in the diaspora.
