Títulos em África

Nenhum outro assunto é tão importante e tão definidor da nossa identidade nacional quanto a escravidão. Conhecê-lo ajuda a explicar o que fomos no passado, o que somos hoje e também o que seremos daqui para a frente. Em um texto impactante e rigorosamente documentado, Laurentino Gomes lança o primeiro volume de sua nova trilogia, resultado de 6 anos de pesquisas, que incluíram viagens por 12 países e 3 continentes.

O último audiolivro da trilogia Escravidão é dedicado ao século XIX, à Independência, ao Primeiro e ao Segundo Reinados, ao movimento abolicionista, que resultou na Lei Áurea de 13 de maio de 1888, e ao legado da escravidão, que ainda hoje emperra a caminhada dos brasileiros em direção ao futuro. A escravidão era, na definição de José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, o Patriarca da Independência, um cancro que contaminava e roía as entranhadas da sociedade brasileira. Disseminado por todo o território, o escravismo perpassava todas as atividades e todas as classes sociais.

No segundo volume de Escravidão—Da corrida do ouro em Minas Gerais até a chegada da corte de dom João ao Brasil, Laurentino Gomes concentra-se no século XVIII. O período representou o auge do tráfico negreiro no Atlântico, motivado pela descoberta das minas de ouro e diamantes no país e pela disseminação, em outras regiões da América, do cultivo de cana-de-açúcar, arroz, tabaco, algodão e outras lavouras marcadas pelo uso intensivo de mão de obra cativa.

Para além dos estereótipos e da tradicional história construída a partir de referenciais europeus, o autor - pesquisador e professor de História da África - oferece material didático de grande relevância, fornecendo uma visão panorâmica, que respeita as diferenças e peculiaridades sociais, culturais e históricas que surgem da variedade de povos existentes no continente africano.

Africa Uncovered is a bold reclaiming of the stories they tried to bury — the truth behind Africa’s lost empires, unbroken warriors, genius scholars, and unstoppable queens. This is not the history taught in schools or written in Western textbooks. It is the truth whispered in oral traditions, hidden in stolen artifacts, and buried beneath centuries of colonial lies. Written in powerful, accessible language and backed by real historical accounts, Africa Uncovered is more than a book — it’s a weapon of truth.

On y traverse ports antiques, routes caravanières, sièges titanesques, révoltes et essors religieux; s’y croisent Massinissa, Jugurtha, Augustin, la Kahina, les Fatimides, Almoravides et Almohades.

Scholars have sometimes maintained that the study of the history of African religions is an impossible endeavor. Some have contended that African religions do not have a history unto themselves, apart from their interaction with the newer religious traditions of Islam and Christianity. Others concede that such a history exists, but believe the source materials are insufficient to reconstruct such a history. This book speaks directly to these critics.

The Second Emancipation, the second work in a trilogy from bestselling author Howard W. French about Africa's pivotal role in shaping world history, underscores Adam Hochschild's contention that French is a "modern-day Copernicus." The title―referring to a brief period beginning in 1957 when dozens of African colonies gained their freedom―positions this liberation at the center of a "movement of global Blackness," with one charismatic leader, Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972), at its head.

Cecil John Rhodes became one of the most influential people in the history of the British Empire. He made a fortune in South Africa by leading the world's most important diamond mining company, De Beers. While he was a busy entrepreneur, he was also a member of the Cape Colony's legislature and served as prime minister from 1890 to 1896, a key period for the development of racial discrimination.
