Notes:
239 p., Combines historical elements on the formation of Brazil in their ethnic identity and cultural character and shows the reader the contributions of Bantus in this process. Moreover, Nei Lopes sets new parameters on the relationship between Islam and negritude. By way of its involvement with the black cultural resistance in Brazil and Africa, presents the reader with a face of history unknown to most Brazilians.

Notes:
342 p., Analyzes how imperial control met with resistance and how Africans, Indians, and Spaniards, and their descendants interacted with one another. Her study uncovers an intersection and cross-fertilization of sociocultural measurements identifiable in the workplace, courts, church, and private lives. Brockington innovatively uses Spanish colonial documentary sources, including serial financial accounts of wealthy orphans, court cases, parish records, and census information of hacienda workers to elucidate race, ethnic, class, and gender issues within the colonial reality of contradiction and ambiguity.
