Romances, cinema e televisão conferiram a Chica da Silva uma imagem de mulher sedutora, mas Júnia Ferreira Furtado mostra que a vida da ex-escrava, nascida no arraial do Tejuco, atual Diamantina, contradiz o mito. A autora distingue a personagem histórica dos estereótipos a que foi reduzida e revela particularidades desconhecidas sobre os costumes da sociedade mineira colonial, o cotidiano das mulheres forras e as relações raciais nas Minas Gerais do auge da mineração.Nascida em data incerta, entre os anos de 1731 e 1735, auge da febre dos diamantes no arraial do Tejuco, Chica da Silva levou uma vida próxima à das senhoras brancas da sociedade mineira de então. Mulata, filha da negra Maria da Costa com o português Antônio Caetano de Sá, Chica nasceu escrava, mas teve alforria concedida por João Fernandes. Com ele, teria treze filhos entre 1755 e 1770.Chica criou as nove filhas no melhor estabelecimento de ensino da região, acumulou pecúlio considerável, tornou-se proprietária de casa e chegou a possuir mais de cem escravos, quantidade elevada mesmo para os padrões da elite branca.Amparada em documentação de arquivo do Brasil, de Portugal e dos Estados Unidos, Júnia Ferreira Furtado mostra como Chica não foi exceção, mas um exemplo, entre muitos, da grande camada de mulatos e negros forros que procuravam diminuir o estigma da cor e da condição de ex-escravos. Descobre, assim, a personagem histórica Francisca da Silva de Oliveira.

A sweeping history of our enduring passion for diamonds—and the exploitative industry that fuels it. Blood, Sweat and Earth is a hard-hitting historical exposé of the diamond industry, focusing on the exploitation of workers and the environment, the monopolization of uncut diamonds, and how little this has changed over time. It describes the use of forced labor and political oppression by Indian sultans, Portuguese colonizers in Brazil, and Western industrialists in many parts of Africa—as well as the hoarding of diamonds to maintain high prices, from the English East India Company to De Beers. While recent discoveries of diamond deposits in Siberia, Canada, and Australia have brought an end to monopolization, the book shows that advances in the production of synthetic diamonds have not yet been able to eradicate the exploitation caused by the world’s unquenchable thirst for sparkle.

Drawing on historical and cultural approaches to race relations, Identities in Flux examines iconic Afro-Brazilian figures and theorizes how they have been appropriated to either support or contest a utopian vision of multiculturalism. Zumbi dos Palmares, the leader of a runaway slave community in the seventeenth century, is shown not as an anti-Brazilian rebel but as a symbol of Black consciousness and anti-colonial resistance. Xica da Silva, an eighteenth-century mixed-race enslaved woman who "married" her master and has been seen as a licentious mulatta, questions gendered stereotypes of so-called racial democracy. Manuel Querino, whose ethnographic studies have been ignored and virtually unknown for much of the twentieth century, is put on par with more widely known African American trailblazers such as W. E. B. Du Bois. Niyi Afolabi draws out the intermingling influences of Yoruba and Classical Greek mythologies in Brazilian representations of the carnivalesque Black Orpheus, while his analysis of City of God focuses on the growing centrality of the ghetto, or favela, as a theme and producer of culture in the early twenty-first-century Brazilian urban scene. Ultimately, Afolabi argues, the identities of these figures are not fixed, but rather inhabit a fluid terrain of ideological and political struggle, challenging the idealistic notion that racial hybridity has eliminated racial discrimination in Brazil.

CHICA DA SILVA A história emocionante da mulher mineira escravizada, que virou um conto de fadas narrado no cinema, na televisão e na música, está nesta obra pelo olhar da jornalista Joyce Ribeiro. Um romance histórico que fala de lutas, preconceitos que estruturaram sociedades, de separações, boatos e injustiças, mas também mergulha na força transformadora do amor. A trajetória de Chica da Silva, a escrava mineira que encantou o rico contratador de diamantes e desembargador João Fernandes de Oliveira, no século XVIII, ganha seguidores em diversos cantos do mundo. Mesmo quem viu o filme ou a novela, vai se surpreender com o livro. Fascinada desde criança pelo que Chica representa para a mulher, principalmente para as mulheres negras, a autora fez uma pesquisa meticulosa. A aventura de imaginar como foi a vida da personagem produz uma narrativa tão rica em detalhes, que tudo parece verdade. E pode ter sido mesmo! A rigidez e o linguajar mais comuns aos historiadores perdem espaço para a fluidez e até certa leveza na descrição de um cenário imaginário, que chega a ser quase real. Joyce captura o leitor logo no primeiro capítulo, quando conta como foi a partida de João Fernandes para Portugal, quando tanto ele quanto Chica acreditavam que voltariam a viver juntos. O homem branco e rico acaba morrendo em Portugal, deixando sua companheira negra com os muitos filhos, dinheiro e posses. Depois da luta para ser aceita em uma sociedade escravagista, a poderosa semi-analfabeta Chica da Silva, que não baixava a cabeça para ninguém, ganha uma posição de destaque na cidade de Diamantina, em Minas Gerais. Ao fundir fatos com ficção, Joyce Ribeiro resgata a história de uma das personagens mais populares da história do Brasil. SAIBA MAIS

At the heart of this study on cross-cultural trade lies a concrete case-study of a network of diamond merchants operating in the early eighteenth century. All the traders examined in this study are outsiders: an English Catholic in Antwerp, Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews in London and Amsterdam and French Huguenots in Lisbon.

On the eastern coast of Brazil, facing westward across a wide magnificent bay, lies Salvador, a major city in the Americas at the end of the eighteenth century. Those who distributed and sold food, from the poorest street vendors to the most prosperous traders—black and white, male and female, slave and free, Brazilian, Portuguese, and African—were connected in tangled ways to each other and to practically everyone else in the city, and are the subjects of this book. Food traders formed the city's most dynamic social component during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, constantly negotiating their social place. The boatmen who brought food to the city from across the bay decisively influenced the outcome of the war for Brazilian independence from Portugal by supplying the insurgents and not the colonial army. Richard Graham here shows for the first time that, far from being a city sharply and principally divided into two groups—the rich and powerful or the hapless poor or enslaved—Salvador had a population that included a great many who lived in between and moved up and down. The day-to-day behavior of those engaged in food marketing leads to questions about the government's role in regulating the economy and thus to notions of justice and equity, questions that directly affected both food traders and the wider consuming public. Their voices significantly shaped the debate still going on between those who support economic liberalization and those who resist it.

The volume explores how these three writers used poetry to oppose patriarchal discourse on topics ranging from marginalized peoples to issues on gender and sexuality. Poetry was a means for them to redefine their own feminized space, however difficult or odd it could turn out to be.

This book examines the enslavement system in nineteenth-century Brazil, demonstrating the strategies that lawyers and plaintiffs used to fight for freedom in court. In nineteenth-century Brazil, countless enslaved and freed women and men appealed to court to claim their right to freedom or that of family members. Taken as a whole, these legal suits create a narrative against the institution of slavery. By analyzing 30 individual cases (1810–1881) from various parts of imperial Brazil, this book demonstrates the intricate strategies of argumentation that lawyers and plaintiffs conceived to prove the right to freedom of the parties involved and to convince the authorities of it. Enslaved persons did not only protest their enslavement through rebellion, flight, refusal to work, and in everyday life but also produced a statement in the legal sphere against enslavement. This intellectual achievement was realized through the cooperation of lawyers and enslaved plaintiffs alike, functioning through stories of injustices, not through theoretical treatises on the right to liberty. While research on abolition in Brazil has concentrated mainly on public discourse, legislative decrees, and protest actions, this book focuses on the discursive space of courts. It gives both an overview of the enslavement system and intricately analyzes the fight for freedom in court. Narratives of Enslavement is the perfect volume for both students and nonspecialist readers and also provides new insights for specialists in this field.
