In Slavery Unseen, Lamonte Aidoo upends the narrative of Brazil as a racial democracy, showing how the myth of racial democracy elides the history of sexual violence, patriarchal terror, and exploitation of slaves. Drawing on sources ranging from inquisition trial documents to travel accounts and literature, Aidoo demonstrates how interracial and same-sex sexual violence operated as a key mechanism of the production and perpetuation of slavery as well as racial and gender inequality. The myth of racial democracy, Aidoo contends, does not stem from or reflect racial progress; rather, it is an antiblack apparatus that upholds and protects the heteronormative white patriarchy throughout Brazil's past and on into the present.

'...a fully grown man utterly broken by what he had experienced, physically and mentally exhausted with physical evidence showing the overt signs of the abuse he had been through.' This is how Kate Garbers met Riso, a man who had been trafficked and in forced labour for months, with no way out. Modern slavery is far closer than we think. Yet it is largely unseen and unknown to most of us - a crime against humanity hidden in plain sight. In this revealing exposé, Kate Garbers shares moving stories of survivors she has met and shares insights she has gained through over a decade of anti-slavery work. Survivor stories are complemented by a forensic account of how modern slavery works and the many forms it can take - from forced labour to organ harvesting - and how it is enabled to continue by our current laws and systems. Unseen Lives also provides a vision of hope for those looking to challenge and dismantle modern slavery, laying out what changes we need to make as individuals and as a society in order to effectively tackle modern slavery and improve the support of survivors.

WINNER: 2022 Award for Excellence in Documenting Georgia's History, Georgia Archives HONORABLE MENTION: Georgia Author of the Year, Georgia Writers Association Seen/Unseen is a vivid portrait of the complex network that created, held, and sustained a community of the enslaved. The hundreds of men and women kept in bondage by the Cobb-Lamar family, one of the wealthiest and most politically prominent families in antebellum America, labored in households and on plantations that spanned Georgia. Fragments of their lives were captured in thousands of letters written between family members, who recorded the external experiences of the enslaved but never fully reckoned with their humanity. Drawn together for the first time, these fragments reveal a community that maintained bonds of affection, kinship, and support across vast distances of space, striving to make their experiences in slavery more bearable. Christopher R. Lawton, Laura E. Nelson, and Randy L. Reid have meticulously excavated the vast Cobb Family Papers at the University of Georgia to introduce into the historical record the lives of Aggy Carter and her father George, Rachel Lamar Cole, Alfred Putnam, Berry Robinson, Bob Scott, and Sylvia Shropshire and her daughter Polly. Each experienced enslavement in ways that were at once both remarkably different and similar. Seen/Unseen tells their stories through four interconnected chapters, each supported by a careful selection of primary source documents and letters. After mapping the underlying structures that supported the wealth and power of the Cobb-Lamar family, the authors then explore how those same pathways were used by the enslaved to function within the existing system, confront the limitations placed on them, challenge what they felt were its worst injustices, and try to shape the boundaries of their own lives.

A thesis submitted to the faculty of Richmont Graduate University. ABSTRACT: While blatant oppression is no longer socially acceptable and thus not often committed in plain sight, crimes of oppression are extant, even in modern society. Two such types of hidden oppression exist in the forms of: 1) modern slavery (a refurbished version of traditional slavery, maintaining the characteristics of oppression and exploitation under new and harder-to-detect guises) and 2) intimate partner violence (IPV). Striking parallels exist between these two phenomena. Specifically, these parallels are found in their qualities of invisibility, the perpetrators methods of control, and the victims responses. This study provides a theoretical consideration of the parallels that exist between modern slavery and intimate partner violence, in an attempt to better understand each oppressive institution and to discern implications for aftercare, public policy, and necessary cultural change.

In Unseen Flesh Nessette Falu explores how Black lesbians in Brazil define and sustain their well-being and self-worth against persistent racial, sexual, class, and gender-based prejudice. Focusing on the trauma caused by interactions with gynecologists, Falu draws on in-depth ethnographic work among the Black lesbian community to reveal their profoundly negative affective experiences within Brazil’s deeply biased medical system. In the face of such entrenched, intersectional intimate violence, Falu’s informants actively pursue well-being in ways that channel their struggle for self-worth toward broader goals of social change, self care, and communal action. Demonstrating how the racist and heteronormative underpinnings of gynecology erase Black lesbian subjecthood through mental, emotional, and physical traumas, Falu explores the daily resistance and abolitionist practices of worth-making that claim and sustain Black queer identity and living. Falu rethinks the medicalization of race, sex, and gender in Brazil and elsewhere while offering a new perspective on Black queer life through well-being grounded in relationships, socioeconomic struggles, the erotic, and freedom strivings.

The chapters in the book were meticulously chosen by the author. These are national occurrences combined with personal experiences. I had the impression that all adults at some point in their lives have witnessed something whether good or bad but decided not to intervene. Many of the readers probably have witnessed an unqualified person at work knowing the right things to say and were promoted far beyond their competency. You ask yourself if anyone besides you sees what is going on. Maybe from the book, a reader may gain some information on why he or she cannot seem to keep neighbors. A laundry list of possible behaviors may be of value to peoples other than the reader. From this laundry list, one may become enlightened and may see many of the listings are quite common to where they live. A highlight for the author is the mentioning of Black-on-Black crimes. There is a cry for help, even from the author’s point of view. Our leaders are quite aware the problem is quite real, but there seems to be little to no emphasis on solving this issue. Racial discrimination are sensitive words. Many words mentioned in the book may have matured and are past their expiration date. As a Black man, I often believe these words are used too freely, and it seems to be a deterrent to the actual root cause. I did want all readers to know there was never a request for reparations. If there was ever a decision for reparations, what would be the criteria for Blacks with enslaved ancestors? The book also was written to stimulate those who knowingly have information to a solution to get involved and not to accept the encounter as “unseen.” To all, our nation is changing—in color, in thoughts, and in protest. Do you see or not see the shift? What is your choice, and what will be your involvement?
