Globalização e Etnicização em Salvador

The text builds on empirical data of «black» organizations focusing on logics, practices and strategies which transform living experiences of Afro-Brazilian groups by overcoming the economic precariousness, marginalization, social subalternization and symbolic violence of their everyday lives. The analysis of strategies and organizations of resistance and struggle for power developed by groups focuses on the cultural representations of black identity, past and present, including those which inform the construction of identities and contribute to their present social condition, as well those on which the black have historically based their strategies of resistance and transformative innovation.
