This talk will discuss 'new Brazils' as a compelling model of futurity across the Atlantic over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While Afro-Brazilian returnees in West Africa implemented such a vision to achieve local recognition and differentiation, aspiring Portuguese architects used it later in Southern Africa as a colonial tool. This presentation will explore such disputed views mainly in Nigeria, Brazil, and Angola and consider a Black feminist reading of Afro-Brazilian negotiations of the colonial plantation and its future.
