Biografisk notat
Marc A. Hertzman is Associate Professor of History at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and author of Making Samba: A New History of Race and Music in Brazil, also published by Duke University Press.After Palmares Diaspora, Inheritance, and the Afterlives of Zumbi
“<i>After Palmares</i> is a beautifully written and stunning work of historical scholarship. With its publication, Marc A. Hertzman will widely be recognized as one of the most important and original scholars working on Brazil and the African diaspora.” - Barbara Weinstein, author of (The Color of Modernity: São Paulo and the Making of Race and Nation in Brazil) “In a genius move, Marc A. Hertzman takes the notion of a maroon settlement and asks what changes when we think about such places as starting points rather than endpoints in histories of the enslaved. This conceptualization of the significance of marronage reshapes the field by demanding that we understand fugitivity to exist in the afterlives of violent histories but also serve as generative of powerful forms of well-being and community.” - Kathryn M. de Luna, Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor, Georgetown University “<i>After Palmares</i> is a beautifully crafted and breathtaking history of the long afterlives of the legendary runaway slave community. With the rhythm of an analytical epic, Marc A. Hertzman reckons with what he brilliantly calls the inheritances and trajectories of the post-Palmares world that came to be after its defeat in 1695. This tremendous book is interdisciplinary work at its finest.” - Yesenia Barragan, author of (Freedom's Captives: Slavery and Gradual Emancipation on the Colombian Black Pacific)
