Book: “A Cor da História & A História da Cor”

23/06/2022 17:39

“How many black professors of History of Law teach in Brazilian universities? How many Law History books, included in the mandatory bibliographies of our schools, were written by black authors? How many black jurists – such as Tobias Barreto, Luís Gama, José do Patrocínio and Evaristo de Morais – are remembered in the discipline of History of Law? How many contributions of Afro-diasporic culture to the construction of the national legal system are we able to cite? The History of Law still silences and makes the non-white community invisible, hiding the “sangue retinto pisado/ atrás do herói emoldurado/ mulheres, tamoios, mulatos”.

This book, A cor da história & a história da cor, opens the Coleção Novos Rumos for the History of Law, and was born from the dreams of freedom of black men and women, inspired by the memories, stories and legacy of ancestors in Africa and the Diaspora. The proposal is to present several themes of History and History of Law, in an Afro-referenced perspective and based on the theoretical-methodological category of intersubjectivation, through the voices of black and black researchers, breaking with epistemic racism and epistemicide. that mark the legal sciences in the Brazilian experience. This initiative is necessary, since “the project of western modernity has largely erased from the legal sciences, in addition to knowledge, the trajectories of black people who produce them” (From the Introduction).

The work has contributions from several researchers / black / Brazilian to African and has a special preface by Professor Dora Lúcia Bertúlio, a leading researcher in the field of Law and Race Relations, a thinker beyond her time. It also has contributions from:
