Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A photographic reckoning with Switzerland's colonial legacy in Brazil. The most "African" of the Brazilian villages in the south of Bahia bears a Swiss name. Helvecia was founded 200 years ago by Swiss and German colonists, and the coffee grown on its vast estates produced great wealth for them. This would not have been possible without exploitation: in the mid-19th century, for every 200 white colonists, there were 2,000 slaves of African origin. Black people still make up the majority of the population today; many do not know the origins of their community. With great sensitivity and in dialogue with the inhabitants, Swiss photographer Dom Smaz goes in search of traces of the past, capturing the lives of the local people. Smaz's pictures and text contributions by Shalini Randeria, among others, allow a new look at history and the origins of Switzerland's wealth, revealing global histories of interconnectedness and power relations of the past that continue into the present. SELLING POINTS: . The printed cloth cover references coffee sacks as the book looks at Switzerland's colonial history in Brazil, specifically Helvecia, where the Swiss ran coffee plantations using African slave labour. Contemporary photos show the legacy of inequity today 105 illustrations On the trail of the Swiss colonists in Brazil Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
