Book, Dictionary of slavery and freedom: 50 critical texts[LS]

To critically commemorate the 130th anniversary of the abolition of slavery, fifty texts from the greatest experts on the subject. A comprehensive overview of how slavery perversely took root in our daily lives. "The fifty concise essays that Lilia Moritz Schwarcz and Flávio dos Santos Gomes have brought together in this volume, with the title and intention of being a thematic dictionary, show the large number of faces that make up what is a moving polyhedron. Each of these texts invites new texts, new research, in-depth studies, new comparisons and challenges. There is no shortage of paragraphs in this book about waiting, searching for and obtaining freedom. About freedom as an antonym of slavery, but which coexists with it to to oppose it. If these essays tell us that the past is beyond hope of repair, they do not let us forget that there is no shadow without light." From the preface by Alberto da Costa e Silva
