The quilombo provision has been hailed as a success for black rights; however, rights for quilombolas are highly controversial and, in many cases, have led to violent land conflicts. Although thousands of rural black communities have been legally recognized, only a handful have received the rights they were promised. Conflict over quilombola rights is widespread and carries important consequences for race relations and political representations of blackness in twenty-first century Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a year of field research in a quilombola community, Elizabeth FarfÁn-Santos explores how quilombo recognition has significantly affected the everyday lives of those who experience the often-complicated political process. Questions of identity, race, and entitlement play out against a community’s struggle to prove its historical authenticity-and to gain the land and rights they need to survive. This work not only demonstrates the lived experience of a new, particular form of blackness in Brazil, but also shows how blackness is being mobilized and reimagined to gain social rights and political recognition. \u003ci\u003eBlack Bodies, Black Rights\u003c\/i\u003e thus represents an important contribution to the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of Afro-Latino studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Acronyms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: A “\u003cbr\u003eProblematic”\u003cbr\u003e Field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
