Edited Volume: Tendências e Perspectivas nos Estudos Sobre as Relações Étnicas e suas Interfaces
Editors: Marcos Lopes de Souza e Maria de Fátima de Andrade Ferreira
Synopsis: In Tendências e Perspectivas nos Estudos sobre as Relações Étnicas e suas Interfaces (Trends and Perspectives in Studies on Ethnic Relations and Their Interfaces), the authors, as part of a collective effort involving researchers, faculty members, current students, and alumni of the Graduate Program in Ethnic Relations and Contemporary Studies (PPGREC), with financial support from the PROAP-CAPES/UESB agreement, seek to outline a critical portrait and future perspectives of contemporary society and the present-day world. This world is structurally shaped by colonialism, racism, LGBTQIAPN+ phobia, authoritarianism, misogyny, white privilege, ideologies of whiteness, and processes of whitening.
The volume brings together theoretical and empirical studies that engage with these issues through diverse analytical perspectives and research objects. It is not merely a collection that discusses definitions, concepts, and forms of ethnic relations across its chapters. Rather, all chapters demonstrate a strong and consistent concern with identifying trends and perspectives in studies on ethnic relations and their interfaces, highlighting the challenges faced by ethnic studies, their multiple approaches, and the need to reframe analytical lenses applied to these topics.
The book comprises 19 chapters authored by faculty members, students, and alumni of PPGREC. It brings together contributions that foster dialogue and convergence among discussions that have shaped the field of ethnic relations and contemporaneity, employing diverse methodological approaches and research settings, thereby strengthening scholarship in this area of knowledge.

Edited Volume: Metodologias contracoloniais em relações étnicas, raciais e de gênero
Editors: Alexandre de Oliveira Fernandes, Marcos Lopes de Souza e Natalino Perovano Filho
Synopsis: Metodologias Contracoloniais em Relações Étnicas (Countercolonial Methodologies in Ethnic, Racial, and Gender Relations) is an edited volume that brings together texts authored by faculty members, students, and alumni of the Graduate Program in Ethnic Relations and Contemporary Studies at the State University of Southwest Bahia, with financial support from the Graduate Support Program of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (PROAP-CAPES).
This collection critically examines methodologies for the production and analysis of research data grounded in colonial geopolitics, coloniality, and Cartesian positivism. Such paradigms have historically contributed to the unequal circulation of knowledge, cognitive and bodily hierarchization, and the production of marginalized subjectivities. Drawing on discourses historically labeled as abject, as well as subalternized, peripheral, and underground forms of knowledge often deemed “abnormal” or “monstrous,” the volume seeks to challenge dominant epistemologies from the margins.
The contributions offer methodological strategies, research techniques, and investigative tools that enable the emergence of alternative forms of knowledge validation. The chapters actively engage in disrupting the coloniality of knowledge by constructing other realities and imaginaries, redefining what research, knowledge, and research methodology mean. This epistemic emergence calls for dissident methodologies capable of re-signifying analytical perspectives and enabling alternative ways of being a researcher.

Metodologias contracoloniais em relações étnicas, raciais e de gênero
Book: Da Presença das Compositoras no Samba Carioca à trajetória de Teresa Cristina
Author: Nubia Regina Moreira
Synopsis: Da Presença das Compositoras no Samba Carioca à Trajetória de Teresa Cristina (From the Presence of Women Composers in Rio de Janeiro Samba to the Trajectory of Teresa Cristina) reflects a deep concern with female authorship and emerges, in particular, from the demands of a time marked by insurgency and recognition of revitalized rhythm and performativity.
Struck by Teresa Cristina’s “militant repertoire,” the author revisits the findings of her research, grounded in the ways of being and belonging of an organic intellectual who is deeply embedded in the world of samba in Rio de Janeiro.

Book: Psicanálise Infantil e Racismo: Saúde Mental nas Relações Étnico-raciais
Author: Regina Suama Ngola Marques
Synopsis: Recipient of an important research and scientific production award from the National Library Foundation and the Ministry of Culture in 2013, this book is the result of extensive clinical, psychoanalytic, and social research in the fields of early childhood, schooling, and family life. It addresses ethnic relations and the formation of the psyche and child identity.
The work presents the conflicts experienced by school professionals when confronted with racialized attitudes toward Black, White, and mixed-race children. It also explores the anxieties and struggles faced by parents and family members in transmitting values of equality and emotional resilience to their Black and Brown children in the context of violence present in school inter-subjectivity and ethnic and socio-community relations.
With a pioneering approach, the research is situated within the contemporary political and ethnic-racial transformations that became emblematic in Brazilian society at the turn of the twentieth to the twenty-first century. Grounded in high-level social and psychoanalytic clinical practice that marked the transformation of paradigms in Brazilian psychology through the vanguard of Silvia Lane’s São Paulo School, the book stands as an authentic testimony to the process of constructing child psyche and identity within Brazil’s context of diversity and multiethnicity.
As stated by one of the most significant figures of historical materialist psychology in Brazilian scientific and epistemological production, Antônio da Costa Ciampa: “Individual metamorphosis is articulated within generational metamorphosis. I look forward to your doctorate soon” (message sent to the author in 2004).
For these reasons, the book is of interest to parents, educators, psychologists, health researchers, and scholars in the human and social sciences, serving as an appeal to the ethic of care and love that must be cultivated in human and technoscientific practice within ethnic-racial relations. It also conveys a message from Nanã, ancestral maternal wisdom, addressed to those who respect and revere the embodied knowledge of elders and masters who came before us. So that science, like life itself, may be born, grow, and flourish.

Edited Volume: Antônia Onça e o Mestre em Amansar Brancos: Trajetórias e saberes de indígenas e africanos no sertão da Bahia
Editor: Washington Santos Nascimento
Synopsis: This book explores the histories and struggles of the Maraká, Kariri-Sapuyá, Kamakã, Paneleiro, and Botocudo peoples, as well as the convergence of their trajectories and knowledge with African and Black populations in south-central Bahia. Special attention is given to healing practices and the sacred dimensions of Indigenous and African traditions present in Umbanda and Candomblé religions in the region.
Adopting a long-term historical perspective, the work draws on written and oral sources, as well as the voices of the historical agents themselves, to demonstrate the strength of these forms of agency and their fundamental role in processes of emergence of new ethnic identities or the resurgence of already recognized ethnic groups.

Book: CÁPSULAS DO TEMPO: avaliação materializada em relatos de infância
Editors: Daniel Valério Martins, Ruan Rocha Mesquita, Ana Carolina Fialho de Abreu e Marilete Calegari Cardoso
Synopsis: Cápsulas do Tempo: Avaliação materializada em relatos de infância (Time Capsules: Materialized Assessment in Childhood Narratives) is the result of a pedagogical proposal centered on Materialized Assessment, which implicitly advocates replacing traditional examinations with the creation of Educational Products in textual form. These products are conceived as works that students will carry throughout their lives in their academic trajectories as authors.
Among the foundational concepts employed in this trilogy are Life History, Childhood, Memory, Identity, Culture, Time, and Temporalities. These concepts were developed within courses on Research in Anthropology and Pedagogical Processes, Ethnic Relations, Memory and Education, and Assessment of Learning from a Materialized Perspective.
The illustrations presented at the beginning of each section were generated using Microsoft Copilot Artificial Intelligence tools to visually represent the narrated stories.
