Ms. Pass Film: “Black in Latin America: Brazil, a Racial Paradise?”

Film: “Black in Latin America: Brazil, a Racial Paradise?”

Take copious notes on this very important film and give expansive answers to the following questions (these are good sample midterm questions)

1) Tell me about the numbers of Africans that were brought to Brazil and tell me how that contributes to Brazil’s racial/ethnic complexity:

2) Tell me about Capoeira and its cultural significance

3) Tell me about Candomblé and its cultural significance

4) Tell me about Brazil’s attitudes towards Blackness- why are they so complicated?

5) Tell me about Xica da Silva and what her example tells us about the complexities of race relations in Brazil (and Latin America)

6) Tell me about Branqueamento and what it tells us about race and power

7) From what you saw of the film and from what you’ve been reading (and what we’ve been discussing), what question should I have asked you that I didn’t? And how would you answer it?
