This paper aims to identify and analyze the reception and the means of dissemination and multiplication of the music of the northeast Brazilian tradition "Maracatu de Baque Virado" outside Brazil in the period 1988-2010. Special focus is laid on instrucional music literature. A short historical introduction of "Maracatu de Baque Virado" is also presented, in particular trying to depict and understand the process of its rapid and drastic popularization during the aforementioned period.

A comprehensive history of Brazil's Quilombo dos Palmares, starting with pre-Palmarian history of Brazil, covering possible influences of African cultures, the nature of slavery in Brazil, the assaults on Palmares, and the general background history of 17th century Pernambuco. The book ends with chapters on a) how Palmares and its last leader, Zumbi, became a mythological figure replete with political baggage, and b) the experience of a modern-day quilombo in the interior of Pernambuco. The book includes translations of key Portuguese and Dutch documents on Palmares.

This article presents a new perspective on the master-slave relationship in New Netherland in order to complement the existing theories on the treatment of slaves in that Dutch colony. It shows how prior to the loss of Dutch Brazil, the West India Company modeled its slave policy after Portuguese practices, such as the formation of black militias and the use of Christianity as a means to foster slave loyalty. It also points out that in the initial slave policy of the Dutch Reformed Church was characterized by the ambition to replace the Iberian Catholic Church in the Americas. While the Reformed Church in the early decades of the Dutch colonial expansion was characterized by a community-building spirit and a flexible attitude toward newcomers, the loss of Brazil shattered the dream of a Protestant American continent and gave way to a more exclusivist approach with a much stronger emphasis on orthodoxy. This led to a dramatic change in attitude vis-à-vis slaves, which is reflected in the segregationist policies―both at a social and a religious level―in later Dutch slave colonies such as Suriname.

This article raises some issues about the
Jewish presence during the time Brazil was
under Dutch control. We aimed mainly at “the
people of the nation” ethnic identity handling
in a social disruption situation. We believe
the Dutch conquest enabled a greater visibility,
and tension among the “people of the
nation’s” different social experiences. We
realized, as a consequence, a diversity in the
unity. At the same time, we observed the uses
of memory of the same Jewish presence in
the present time.

The article discusses the importance of the Atlantic connections in the
struggles of certain professional categories which work in Recife. The temporal carving
is the decade of 1850, a period of the end of the Atlantic traffic of enslaved Africans, of
the debate on the alleged vagrancy, idleness and ineptness of the national free workforce
and the disaggregation of the proslavery system. In this conjuncture, certain recifense
citizens, migrants (coming from the Pernambuco inland, but also from neighboring
provinces) and immigrants fought against some forms of precariousness of their lives
and their work in work sites of public works. Many of these subjects and their
ascendants, who disembarked on the ports of Pernambuco, shared costumes and
aspirations which helped them to consolidate conceptions of their own rights and
notions of fair work. By means of the documentation produced by the Arsenal of the
Pernambuco Navy and by the Directorate of Military Works of Pernambuco, forinstance, it is possible to rebuild some of these views of the word based in ethnic and
class experiences. Inspired in the perspective of instituting an Atlantic proletariat since
the XVII century, this article is a unique contribution to the debate.

Title: Jaime Diniz and his attributions to Luís Álvares Pinto: The Construction of an Identity of Protagonism through the Musicological Practices of his Time

Abstract: This article reflects on the contributions of Jaime Diniz, whose research contributed to the development of the history (or histories) of Brazilian musicians and their practices over the time period that begins in the eighteenth century. The analysis of the treatment he has given to his sources, in particular the attributions of authorship to Luís Álvares Pinto, allows to reflect on the strategies that the researcher mobilized to create and to legitimize a place of speech and protagonism for himself in Brazilian musicology.
