The Black Butterfly: Brazilian Slavery and the Literary Imagination
Marcus Wood
Focuses on the slavery writings of three of Brazil's literary giants - Machado de Assis, Castro Alves, and Euclides da Cunha. Wood finds that all three writers responded to the memory of slavery in ways that departed from their counterparts in Europe and North America, where emancipation has typically been depicted as a moment of closure.
