Specificatii
Blacks of the Rosary tells the story of the Afro-Brazilian
communities that developed within lay religious brotherhoods
dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary in Minas Gerais. It shows how
these brotherhoods functioned as a social space in which Africans
and their descendants could rebuild a communal identity based on a
shared history of an African past and an ongoing devotional
practice, thereby giving rise to enduring transnational cultures
that have survived to the present day. In exploring this
intersection of community, identity, and memory, the book probes
the Portuguese and African contributions to the brotherhoods in
Part One. Part Two traces the changes and continuities within the
organizations from the early eighteenth century to the end of the
Brazilian Empire, and the book concludes in Part Three with
discussion of the twentieth-century brotherhoods and narratives of
the participants in brotherhood festivals in the 1990s. In a larger
sense, the book serves as a case study through which readers can
examine the strategies that Afro-Brazilians used to create viable
communities in order to confront the asymmetry of power inherent in
the slave societies of the Americas and their economic and social
marginalization in the twentieth century.
