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.
