Unsettling Brazil Urban Indigenous and Black Peoples' Resistances to Dependent Settler Capitalism

"Unsettling Brazilmakes an original and significant contribution to the field of Brazilian Indigenous and quilombo studies. Little, if anything, has been published in English on urban Indigenous and quilombo communities, their histories and struggles in Brazil."-Jan French, author of Legalizing Identities: Becoming Black or Indian in Brazil's Northeast

"Unsettling Brazil is convincing: an innovative lens for interpreting contemporary political contestations in Brazil."-Lorenzo Veracini, author of The World Turned Inside Out: Settler Colonialism as a Political Idea

"This really is a fabulous piece of work and I do not say so lightly. It is written with exceptional poise and precision, and the arguments advanced offer much needed insight into the nature of contemporary urban Indigenous and Black forms of place-and community-making as resistance to the settler capitalist state. I particularly appreciated the commitment to centering and "speaking nearby" the stories of five different Black and Indigenous urban forms of resistance-aldeias, quilombos, favelas and student groups-and to the level of engagement displayed throughout with the communities involved. The book should be ready by anyone working within or across the disciplines and fields of anthropology and sociology, Brazilian and Latin American studies, and Indigenous and decolonial studies." -Thea Pitman, author of Decolonizing the Museum: The Curation of Indigenous Contemporary Art in Brazil
