  • Political power in a slave-owning country: slave trade, slavery and slave resistance
    Vol. 2 No. 4 (2023)

    For more than three hundred years, the slavery of Africans and their descendants was the main form of labor in the colony and in the Brazilian plagas. Portuguese America also had a demographic configuration composed of people brought from Africa, and many of these were put to work in the most varied labors, thus fostering the Brazilian slave system. However, threats began to emerge in the first half of the 19th century that would put the Brazilian slave system in check, one of which was the English anti-slavery pressure.
    This dossier aims to bring together completed or ongoing research on themes involving the enslavement of Africans and/or their descendants, within the time frame of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the second half of the nineteenth century, anti-slavery pressure increased, but at that time, the pressure was linked to factors occurring within Brazil's own territory. Thus, what was possible to observe was the rise of the abolitionist movement and the effervescence of the actions of the slaves themselves, which were configured through escapes, refusal to work and/or the purchase of their letter of freedom.

    In addition, it is proposed to incorporate research that points to the agency of the slave in building his own history. In this conception, the problems that point to the dynamics of the slave trade, the different forms of resistance practiced by slaves, the particular insertion of female slaves, freed or in the process of emancipation in the framework of slavery, the diseases that claimed the lives of slaves, the healing practices carried out by them, the importance of African and Afro-descendant women in economic and social dynamics within the context of slavery, studies on slavery in cities and in the countryside, were invited to be part of this dossier.

    Thus, the aim is to bring together studies that deal with the most varied themes that address slavery in the eighteenth and eighteenth centuries. With this, we hope to foster discussions about the particularities of the experience and dynamics of slaves within slave Brazil, in order to enable discussions of slave transits, Social History, slave resistance, their sociabilities and political power.

    História do Brasil Profundo
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2022)

    History of Deep Brazil 

    Brazil as a nation-state has a relatively recent history compared to other countries, as it has not completed two centuries of formal independence from Portugal. However, the original peoples and those who came during colonisation and the subsequent formation of the nation-state, marked the construction of "deep Brazil" - complex, unequal and diverse.        

    The aim of the dossier is to bring together articles that reflect on the histories of these diverse Brasis, in the symbolic, spatial and social spheres. The borders, territory, governing circuits and trajectories, the spaces of conflicts and resistance, arts and cultures, the various social, economic and political practices that intersect in the construction of Brazil.

    History teaching, social justice, principles and practices for the democratization of education
    Vol. 3 No. 5 (2024)

    The 21st century has been marked by a permanent process of accelerating time, by the political advance of the right, marked by anti-democratic and denialist practices that attack the production, teaching and various forms of dissemination of history. For some researchers, an attempt is being made to historicize history, especially with the curricular reforms that are significantly modifying Brazilian education in order to pave the way for neoliberal reason and morality as a form of human existence. These changes directly affect the training of teachers and the teaching of history, the most obvious being the reform of secondary education, which instituted the so-called New Secondary Education. From this perspective, teaching, learning and the formation of a historical culture in Brazilian society have become a field of dispute between a conservative/neoliberal education and a democratic, anti-racist, decolonial education that combats ethnic, racial and gender prejudices. At the same time, social movements, students and history teachers at the most diverse levels of education are fighting for more effective action to implement 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008.

    In this sense, there are various forms of resistance in the field of History teaching, such as ProfHistória and its various projects to combat those who want to destroy History as a field of knowledge. By taking the teaching experience in basic education as a starting point for building reflective knowledge, ProfHistória not only contributes to democratizing access to postgraduate courses, but also consolidates itself as a place for producing a historiography in tune with the demands of the present time.

    It is in this context that we proposed the dossier History Teaching, social justice and democratic educational practices. We received contributions that discussed issues that directly affect the condition of teachers as authors in defense of democratic teaching practices threatened by conservatism and neoliberalism. We hope that the dossier will be a space for disseminating research that addresses concepts and sources related to feminism, Lgbtqianp+ communities and cultures and their intersectionalities at the interface with history teaching and the most diverse forms of struggle and combating neo-fascism. Likewise, research, reflections and experience reports on the use of communication and information technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, for teaching History, History theory, teaching and teaching practices and curriculum reforms, notably the BNCC, the BNC-formação and the New High School.
