| Abstract | "In After Palmares, Marc A. Hertzman tells the story of one of history's largest and long-lasting maroon societies. Located in the dense forests and rough terrain of northeast Brazil, for most of the seventeenth century Palmares was home to thousands of Africans and their kin, who escaped slavery and forged homes in the wilderness. While most scholarship on Palmares ends in 1695 with the killing of its most famous leader, Zumbi, who was assassinated by Portuguese forces, this book highlights the aftermaths of 1695. By treating 1695 as a starting point, the book challenges our knowledge about Palmares and proposes new directions in the study of fugitive slave communities across the Americas. With meticulous research and innovative analysis, Hertzman calls attention to the ways that destruction and creation go hand-in-hand and grapples with how Palmares has marginalized or erased some diasporic histories even while becoming a powerful global symbol of Black resistance and creation. By paying close attention to language, place, and African and diasporic spiritual beliefs and practices, the book presents new insights about Zumbi and vivid portraits of groups and individuals whose lives and voices scholars have often assumed are inaccessible"--Provided by publisher. |
