What it means to be Black in Brazil
What it means to be Black in Brazil Kwabena Ofori Osei 36 Views • 3 years ago

Racism rooted in slavery has not gone away in Brazil — and it took time until its existence was even acknowledged.

Brazil imported more African slaves than any other country in the world: over 4 million people. Despite the ancestry forming a big part of the population, the development of a national Black identity was hindered after the country’s abolition of slavery in 1888.

Brazil didn’t have an apartheid system like South Africa’s or Jim Crow laws like the United States, and its mixed population was seen as a symbol of harmony between races. The idea of Brazil being a “racial democracy” affected how Brazilians saw the role of race in their own lives — until the myth was debunked.

“Several people were raised with certain privileges for being a light-skinned person, but still suffering some discrimination and not understanding exactly why is that so,” explains lawyer and diversity studies professor Thiago Amparo. “Only by understanding the history of Brazil, the [social] construction of whiteness and their own Black ancestry, they start to self-identify as Black.”
The rise in the number of Brazilians who self-identify as Black came as a result of the Black movement’s fight to denounce racism in the country and to promote positive references of Blackness. Many achievements have been made over the past decades, such as the implementation of affirmative action practices. However, challenges remain. Seventy-five percent of people killed by police in Brazil in 2019 were Black, and socio-economic characteristics of this population widely differ from those of white people.

AMOS WILSON HOMEGOING TRIBUTE Nana Kamau Kambon Archives 36 Views • 2 years ago

Dr. Amos N. Wilson (1941–1995) was a renowned African-American psychologist, educator, and author who made significant contributions to the fields of psychology, education, and social activism. Born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Wilson grew up in Florida and later moved to New York City.

He earned his bachelor's degree from Morehouse College and went on to obtain master's and doctoral degrees in psychology from Fordham University. Throughout his career, Wilson focused on understanding and addressing the social, economic, and psychological challenges faced by African-Americans.

One of his major achievements was the founding of the National Association of Black Psychologists (NABP), an organization dedicated to promoting the mental health and well-being of African-Americans. Wilson served as the organization's president and played a key role in advancing its mission.

As an educator, Wilson taught at various institutions, including the City University of New York (CUNY) and the College of New Rochelle. He was known for his dynamic teaching style and his ability to engage students in critical discussions about race, identity, and power dynamics.

Wilson authored several influential books, including "Blueprint for Black Power: A Moral, Political, and Economic Imperative for the Twenty-First Century" and "The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness: Eurocentric History, Psychiatry, and the Politics of White Supremacy." These works challenged Eurocentric narratives and provided frameworks for understanding and combating systemic oppression.

Throughout his life, Dr. Amos Wilson advocated for the empowerment and liberation of African-Americans, emphasizing the importance of self-reliance, community solidarity, and cultural pride. His work continues to inspire scholars, activists, and educators to address social injustices and strive for equity and equality.
