To do so, we discuss its methods of organization, struggle, and dialogue within the national and international arena, with a particular focus on its role in the Afro-Atlantic network, a dynamic mesh of political-cultural connections in which Africans and their descendants on either side of the Atlantic established contacts and interconnections, exchanged information and experiences, and discussed ideas and projects on emancipation, influencing one another.

A “aurora de um grande feito”: a herma a Luiz Gama

The aim of the current article is to rebuild Luiz Gama’s campaign trajectory in Sao Paulo between 1929 and 1931 through the construction of a herma in honor to him. There is also the aim of showing how the campaign was used by “colored men” to draw the attention to one of their major icons in History. However, such racial mobilization did not have a symbolic sense only; it was the bias that triggered the debate about social insertion matters and expectations, about acknowledgement and citizenship of “colored men”. The campaign also acquired political meanings and shapes.

El "triduo de la locura": Campos Elyseos y el carnaval afro-diaspórico

Abstract This article aims to recover aspects of Sao Paulo carnival in the first decades of the 20 th century, cen-tered on the trajectory of one of the Sao Paulo blacks’ artistic-cultural expressions: the Campos Elyseos Carnival Group. In a context in which blacks were subordinated socially and politically, the cordao car -navalesco took on an affirmative sense, becoming a means of promoting this racial sector. In addition to providing diversion and entertainment to its members, the association circulated notions of belong-ing, equality, and citizenship. Keywords: blacks; carnival; popular party.
