To address this void, ReneÌe Alexander Craft examines an Afro-Latin Carnival performance tradition called "Congo" as it is enacted in the town of Portobelo, Panama-the nexus of trade in the Spanish colonial world. In When the Devil Knocks: The Congo Tradition and the Politics of Blackness in Twentieth-Century Panama, Alexander Craft draws on over a decade of critical ethnographic research to argue that Congo traditions tell the story of cimarronaje, charting self-liberated Africans' triumph over enslavement, their parody of the Spanish Crown and Catholic Church, their central values of communalism and self-determination, and their hard-won victories toward national inclusion and belonging. When the Devil Knocks analyzes the Congo tradition as a dynamic cultural, ritual, and identity performance that tells an important story about a Black cultural past while continuing to create itself in a Black cultural present. This book examines "Congo" within the history of twentieth century Panamanian etnia negra culture, politics, and representation, including its circulation within the political economy of contemporary tourism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 212-226) and index. 650 0 $a Congos (Panamanian people) $x Rites and ceremonies. 650 0 $a Congos (Panamanian people) $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Blacks $z Panama $x Rites and ceremonies. 650 0 $a Blacks $z Panama $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Carnival $x Social aspects $z Panama. 651 0 $a Portobelo (Panama) $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Caribbean & Latin American. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Black performance and cultural criticism. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EADE834246D11E5A97E42B6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
