IMAGES OF THE DIASPORA<br />

Images of the diáspora<br />

Over the course of three centuries,<br />

about 12.5 million Africans were<br />

forced to leave their homelands<br />

and work as slaves in the colonial<br />

Americas. Brazil received nearly 5<br />

million of those souls. This black<br />

diaspora resulted in an innovative<br />

experience, mingling races and<br />

creating a new people in the<br />

Americas. This book highlights<br />

the African trajectory in Brazil<br />

and emphasizes the uniqueness<br />

and the beauty of Afro-Brazilian<br />

heritage, represented by the<br />

inimitable work of designer Goya<br />

Lopes, accompanied by informative<br />

essays by historian Gustavo Falcón.<br />
