Documenting diversity and democracy in Brazil collection

  • ASM0724
  • Collectie
  • April 12-13, 2021

The Documenting Diversity and Democracy in Brazil collection consists video recordings from sessions at the Documenting Diversity and Democracy in Brazil symposium, held virtually at University of Miami from April 12-13, 2021.

This symposium was created thanks to a grant sponsored by University of Miami Libraries as part of the CREATE Grant Fall 2019 grant Cycle Awards. The symposium was established to highlight the unique and richly-textured Leila Míccolis Brazilian Alternative Press collection. The event featured keynote presentations by João Silvério Trevisan (Brazilian LGBT activist, journalist, and novelist), Dr. Leila Míccolis (Lawyer, activist, and writer) and Sonia Guajajara (Brazilian environmental and indigenous activist and politician), alongside invited papers of scholars who had worked with the Collection to showcase intersectionalities and (dis)connections between burgeoning social and political movements in Brazil from the military dictatorship (1964–1985) to the present day, as well as works focusing on human rights, social justice, and cross-fertilization of historical and sociopolitical trajectories that shed more light on recovering the voices of marginalized Brazilians.
