      abstract = {"The historical novels of Manuel Zapata Olivella and Ana  Maria Gonçalves map black journeys from Africa to the  Americas in a way that challenges the Black Atlantic  paradigm that has become synonymous with cosmopolitan  African diaspora studies. Unlike Paul Gilroy, who coined  the term and based it on W.E.B. DuBois's double  consciousness, Zapata, in Changó el gran putas (1983),  creates an empowering mythology that reframes black  resistance in Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, and the  United States. In Um defeito de cor (2006), Gonçalves  imagines the survival strategies of a legendary woman said  to be the mother of black abolitionist poet Luís Gama and a  conspirator in an African Muslim-led revolt in Brazil's  "Black Rome." These novels show differing visions of  revolution, black community, femininity, sexuality, and  captivity. They skillfully reveal how events preceding the  UNESCO Decade of Afro-Descent (2015-2024) alter our  understanding of Afro-Latin America as it gains increased  visibility"--},
