Emperor Menelik II Defeats Italian Expedition

Emperor Menelik (Menilik) II is best remembered as a great Ethiopian emperor who defeated a major Italian military expedition in the Battle of Adowa. That war victory, however, was much more important than just a simple military accomplishment. Many historians have credited Menelik II with preserving the independence of his people by halting the expansion of the Italian military and strengthening his kingdom through political and economic modernization.

The Palmares Quilombo

Quilombos were sustainable states formed by enslaved Africans during slavery in Brazil. The most famous one was Palmares, which was established in 1600 and managed to survive for a century. When the Dutch and Portuguese repeatedly attacked the Palmares, warriors from the state managed to fight them off and defeat the Europeans multiple times across the span of one century.

First North American Revolt by Enslaved Black People

In 1526, nearly four decades before the first permanent European settlement, North America saw its first uprising by a group of enslaved Black people. Spanish explorers, led by conquistador Lucas Vazquez de Ayllon, brought enslaved Blacks to what is now the Carolinas. But in the midst of unrest and widespread sickness, they were able to successfully pull off a massive revolt.

The Hyksos vs. Ancient Egyptians

The battle between the Hyksos and the ancient Egyptians was a fight to reunite the country after the Hyksos took northern Egypt. To this day, it isn’t exactly clear how the Hyksos managed to take Northern Egypt, but there is a little more research about how the ancient Egyptians fought back and reclaimed their land. King Tao of Thebes led the efforts to reclaim Northern Egypt, and his son Kamose took over leadership after Tao was killed in battle. The Hyksos were eventually forced to barricade themselves in their city of Avaris before they were finally seized and expelled. Eventually they returned to Egypt again only to face a brutal defeat by Kamose’s son Ahmose I who pushed the Hyksos out of Egypt again.

The Triumph of the Accompong Maroons

The triumph of the Maroons of Accompong is a part of Jamaica’s history that is still celebrated today. The Jan. 6 celebration commemorates Maroon leader Kojo’s victory over the British in 1738, which ultimately resulted in a peace treaty between both parties.

The Haitian Revolution

The Haitian Revolution, which began in 1791, was one of the largest slave revolts in history and it was the only one to result in the founding of a state. The revolution took place in the French colony of Saint-Domingue and was the key to putting an end to slavery there. This defining moment in both European and American history proved to be one of the most successful uprisings by enslaved Black people.

DANDARA // WARRIOR

“She was an Afro-Brazilian warrior of the colonial period of Brazil. She was a member of the Quilombo dos Palmares, a settlement of Afro-Brazilian people who freed themselves from enslavement. She fought many battles alongside men and women to defend Palmares. After being arrested on February 6, 1694, she committed suicide, refusing to return to life as a slave.”

Palmares (quilombo) 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmares_(quilombo)

Palmares, or Quilombo dos Palmares, was a quilombo, a community of escaped slaves and others, in colonial Brazil that developed from 1605 until its suppression in 1694. It was located in the captaincy of Pernambuco, in what is today the Brazilian state of Alagoas. The quilombo was located in what is now the municipality of União dos Palmares.[2]

Background

The modern tradition has been to call the community the Quilombo of Palmares. Quilombos were settlements mainly of survivors and free-born enslaved African people. The quilombos came into existence when Africans began arriving in Brazil in the mid-1530s and grew significantly as slavery expanded.

No contemporary document called Palmares a quilombo; instead the term mocambo was used.[3] Palmares was home to not only escaped enslaved Africans, but also to Indigenous peoples, caboclos, and poor or marginalized Portuguese settlers, especially Portuguese soldiers trying to escape forced military service.[4]

[estranhossim]

Os meus tijolos constrói um novo eu, uma Nova história, um novo Palmares e erguem o altar em que coloca os meus ancestrais.

Até quando o sangue negro será derramado em vão para justificar a liberdade do verdadeiro ladrão?

Filhos, marido, irmãos, pai e tios nenhum deles é poupado quando os 'home' dispara um tiro.

Terra desconhecida passa, reconstruindo tempos da ruína e contando a verdade sobre o passado.

O sangue para Marina que eu vejo sendo derramado é absorvido pela terra e alimenta as palmeiras que ainda rexistem.

Book Picks: Palmares

Magical realist and almost Biblical, Gayl Jones' novel Palmares is magnificent. Almeyda grows up enslaved in 1600s Brazil--until she arrives in Palmares, where everything changes. This is a story of magic, myth, and the hope of intergenerational healing.

Palmares is marvelous. Magical realist and at times even Biblical, Gayl Jones’ novel is set in a fictional Brazil at the end of the 17th century. It opens with the young first-person narrator Almeyda, observing Mexia, a mixed race woman. She serves as a model for a particular type of femininity: quiet, alluring, and outwardly obedient. This divide between inner and outer worlds—appearance versus…
