How disenfranchised Black Brazilians use hip-hop to reinvigorate
the Black radical tradition. Known as Black Rome, Salvador da
Bahia, Brazil, is a predominantly Black city. The local art, food,
and dance are closely linked to the population’s African roots.
Yet many Black Brazilian residents are politically and economically
disenfranchised. Bryce Henson details a culture of resistance and
activism that has emerged in response, expressed through hip-hop
and the social relations surrounding it. Based on years of
ethnographic research, Emergent Quilombos illuminates how Black
hip-hop artists and their circles contest structures of anti-Black
racism by creating safe havens and alternative social, cultural,
and political systems that serve Black people. These artists
valorize and empower marginalized Black peoples through song,
aesthetics, media, visual art, and community action that emphasize
diasporic connections, ancestrality, and Black identifications in
opposition to the anti-Black Brazilian nation. In the process,
Henson argues, the Salvador hip-hop scene has reinvigorated and
reterritorialized a critical legacy of Black politicocultural
resistance:Â quilombos, maroon communities of Black fugitives
who refused slavery as a way of life, gathered away from the spaces
of their oppression, protected their communities, and nurtured
Black life in all its possibilities.
