Special Issue: Rethinking the African Diaspora: The Making of a Black Atlantic World in the Bight of Benin and Brazil Edited by: Kristin Mann and Edna G Bay
  • Shifting Paradigms in the Study of the African Diaspora and of Atlantic History and Culture by Kristin Mann
    • Dominant paradigms for understanding the African diaspora are unitary and static, failing to pay sufficient attention to variation and change in its formation. This essay surveys aspects of the history of the diaspora to construct a more complex, fluid and dynamic picture of the on-going transformation of the relationship among peoples of African descent all around the Atlantic world. It looks as well at the idea of Atlantic history and culture, probing what it and the study of the African diaspora have to contribute to one another.
    The Evolution of the Brazilian Community in Ouidah by Robin Law Protection, Political Exile, and the Atlantic Slave Trade: History and Collective Memory in Dahomey by Edna G Bay
    • This two-part article considers two contrasting methodologies current in attempts to study the meaning of the slave trade for Africans in Africa. The first section reviews debates about the concept of collective memory, and contrasts it with classic historical research methodology. The second part analyzes examples of each methodology at work in the case of the West African slave-trading kingdom of Dahomey: collective memory as seen in the use of charms to protect against the threat of being enslaved, and standard historical methodology constructing a vision of the slave trade as a form of political exile for select enemies of the state.

(Candomble, Umbanda and Macumba)

- from Divine Inspiration: From Benin to Bahia A Pathfinder
Table of Contents Introduction Scope and Audience Key to Libraries Browsing Areas ... Electronic Sources/ Web sites
Introduction

Macumba appears to be a pejorative term for Afro-Brazilian religions (Brown, 1994), sometimes used in connection with the black magic or sorcery elements of these religions (Giobellina Brumana, 1989), although many in Brazil use it as a general term for all of the Afro-Brazilian sects in the country. (Bramly, 1977). Others use the word Macumba to address the trance and spirit possession aspects of Afro-Brazilian religions (Giobellina Brumana, 1989) or limit its usage to describe the religious practices in the Rio de Janeiro area (Pereira de Queiroz, 1989). Scope and Audience This pathfinder will assist undergraduate students in introductory religion, sociology or anthropology courses in gaining a better understanding of these religions in order to compare them with similar religions and view them in the context of the larger Brazilian culture. The pathfinder provides sources for brief introductory information as well as slightly more in-depth works for additional study. Furthermore, there are a few sources mentioned in the art, music or dance associated with these religions if readers would like to branch out in other directions.
All sources are located on either the UNC or Duke campus; many can be found at both universities. Quite a few of the books at Davis were on loan this semester; however between the two campuses there is a good selection of materials. An undergraduate at either school could find enough materials on his/her campus for research purposes.

Melissa Hackman HIV/AIDS is one of the leading causes of death for people of the African Diaspora. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), of the estimated 40,000 new HIV infections reported each year, more than fifty percent occur among people of Afro-Caribbean descent. Latinos make up 13% of the population of the United States, but account for 19% of new HIV infections each year. Latinos have three times the infection rate of non-white Hispanics.

Situated on a high cliff overlooking the "Bay of all Saints" , Salvador's history extends back to the sixteenth century. Salvador was the center of Brazil's slave trade. As a result, African influence is very prominent in the culture of Bahia...the religion of Candombl the music, the grace, beauty and charm of its people...the fragrant spices used in Bahian cooking. Spend a day at one of its many tropical beaches. Stroll up and down the meandering maze of cobblestone streets in the historical Pelourinho section of the city. Candombl , a Yoruba based religion from West Africa , is very much alive in Bahia, despite having to wear the mask of the Orthodox Church. Capoeira, a martial art from Angola, is a perfect synchronization of grace, power, and agility. Carnaval in Bahia is an explosion of music, lights, and, colors. Feel the power of the Bloco Afros like Olodum and . Witness the awesome spectacle of the 8,000 members of Filhos de Ghandi (the sons of Mahatma Ghandi) dressed in white robes and turbans.

Other World Religions
It would be unfair to other world religions to create a site related to spirituality and religious tolerance and not make mention of some of the other major world religions and faiths in practice today. In depth information is available on all of these religions from many different sources on the Internet and at your local libraries, schools, or culture centers. I have gathered as many links as I could find on the various religious practices throughout the world. Just click on the area of interest and you will be taken to that particular collection. So please, with an open mind (and keeping in mind that "Christians" believe any religion that is not "Christian" is considered "pagan" ) come explore some of the other world faiths openly practiced in the world today.

Salvador, Brazil
Salvador, Brazil, is a fascinating city. Located at a sub-tropical latitude in the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are opposite those in the U.S. The climate is typical of sub-tropical regions with pleasant winter temperatures and moist and hot summers. Salvador is one of Brazil's five most prominent cities. Because of its size (with over 4 million residents in the metropolitan area it is the third or fourth largest city in Brazil), its political clout, its cultural influence and its historical and economic importance, Salvador is a strategic city for those who would engage in church planting in Brazilian urban centers. Throughout Brazilian history Salvador has played an important role. In 1549 it became the first capital of Brazil. Throughout the colonial era Salvador was the colony's largest and most important city. Because of its strategic location on Brazil's northeastern coast, the city served as an important link in the Portuguese empire, maintaining close commercial ties with Portugal and Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia. Salvador remained the preeminent city in Brazil until 1763 when it was replaced as the national capital by Rio de Janeiro. Salvador today is a product of the political, cultural, economic, and religious forces of the past. The city is filled with colonial-era buildings, many of which housed important government offices and ministries. Although the city no longer serves as the national capital, it continues to function as the capital city for the state of Bahia, one of the largest and most populous states in Brazil. Politicians from Salvador and the state of Bahia play prominent roles on the national political scene.
