A GENEALOGY OF BLACK ORGANIZING IN BRAZIL
Resumo
This article argues that the vast literature on “new social
movements” misrepresents the historicity of identity-based organization
in Latin America. Such organizing is indeed much older than the
literature suggests. To prove this argument, I provide a genealogy of
black, identitybased organizing in Brazil. This genealogy makes clear
that black organizing started when Africans first arrived in Brazil. To
explain the ebbs and flows of this organizing, the theoretical
frameworks of Sidney Tarrow and Susan Epstein, who focus on political
opportunities and changing repertoires, respectively, prove to be more
useful.
