This is not a new struggle. Enslaved Africans brought to the country and their descendants have long sought access to land and striven to be independent agrarian producers, in and out of slavery. Land, they have long believed, is the basis of liberty. Then, as now, land and labor were linked. Abolition in 1888 resulted in freedom for enslaved Africans and their descendants, but was not accompanied by land reform, reparations, or other forms of compensation. There was no structural change to Brazil's racialized and concentrated land ownership. Along the way, the Brazilian government has implemented policies to confiscate land that black communities historically settled, and it has denied Afro-descendants access to other resources they need for their livelihoods, thereby exacerbating racial inequality. Even so, black rural communities have challenged territorial dispossession by the Brazilian state, landed elite, and agribusiness through legal recourse, including claims predating emancipation, as well as long-term occupancy and histories of resistance to slavery and racial discrimination. But these efforts have had only mixed success. After centuries of political and economic exclusion, black rural communities deserve land reparations for slavery and for the ongoing seizure of territory that they have legitimately occupied"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Blacks $x Land tenure $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Quilombos $x Land tenure $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Blacks $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Quilombos $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Land reform $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Reparations for historical injustices $z Brazil. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Rural conditions. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Race relations. 650 7 $a Blacks $x Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833953 650 7 $a Blacks $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833955 650 7 $a Land reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991280 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Reparations for historical injustices. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01732564 650 7 $a Rural conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101474 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bowen, Merle L., 1953- $t For land and liberty $d Cambridge ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108935968 $w (DLC) 2021002525 830 0 $a Cambridge studies on the African diaspora. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018021436.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F3686E0FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
