Protest and Resistance in Angola and Brazil is a pioneering comparative study that bridges the traditional academic divide between Latin American and African studies. This collection of essays explores the historical and political parallels between Brazil and Portuguese Africa, focusing on movements of protest and resistance in both regions. By drawing on insights from history, political science, sociology, and anthropology, the volume presents a multifaceted examination of colonial legacies, social upheavals, and the struggles for self-determination. The essays, originally presented at a University of California seminar series in 1968, have been substantially revised to offer analytical depth and to raise new questions for future research.
One of the central themes of the book is the intersection of colonial rule and indigenous resistance, revealing how different forms of oppression shaped both the Portuguese African colonies and Brazil. The volume offers a broad classification of protest movements, ranging from peasant uprisings and labor disputes to nationalist struggles and cultural resistance. Through its comparative approach, Protest and Resistance in Angola and Brazil highlights the structural similarities in colonial exploitation while also acknowledging the unique trajectories of resistance in each region. The rigorous discussions and interdisciplinary perspectives make this work an invaluable resource for scholars interested in colonialism, social movements, and the enduring impacts of historical resistance.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
