About this product

Product Information

One of the few interdisciplinary volumes on Bahia available, The Making of Brazil's Black Mecca: Bahia Reconsidered contains contributions covering a wide chronological and topical range by scholars whose work has made important contributions to the field of Bahian studies over the last two decades. The authors interrogate and problematize the idea of Bahia as a Black Mecca, or a haven where Brazilians of African descent can embrace their cultural and spiritual African heritage without fear of discrimination. As a whole the text provides a series of insights into the ways that inequality has been structured in Bahia since the final days of slavery.

Reviews
"Combining the work of established and up-and-coming researchers, this interdisciplinary volume contributes to a greater understanding of the local and global significance of Bahia, a quasi-magical place that has long attracted the attention of Brazilian and foreign scholars, tourists, artists, and activists. Critically addressing the mystification of Bahia as the 'Black Mecca,' 'Black Rome,' and a version of 'Africa in the Americas,' the book underscores that the celebration of black culture does not necessarily reflect a regard for black lives." -- PATRICIA DE SANTANA PINHO , Associate Professor, Latin American and Latino Studies, University of California Santa Cruz
