Abstract:
This dossier brings to the public new results of a research agenda that problematizes the dynamics of the social relations in Brazil, discussing how the enslaved and freed populations developed strategies of survival and reinvention through associativism in territories marked by modern slavery. The articles cover a period extending from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, approach different Brazilian regions, and expand how the perceptions of black women and men have shaped the country through tensions, conflicts, negotiations, changing social, cultural, educational, and scientific configurations, among other fields of human relations.
