Africa, Brazil and the Construction of Trans Atlantic Black Identities

The flow of ideas about race, anti-racism and black or African identity across the Atlantic is the focus of this volume of essays drawn from a very special international South-South workshop held on the island of Goree, Senegal. The 13 contributors to the book write from very different positions and perspectives, but all hold firm that, especially in the making and deconstructing of notions of race and different races, little is as local as often celebrated.
