Abstract
Afro-Brazilians in Salvador, Brazil, experience high rates of inequality, racism, and poverty. The lived experiences of Afro-Brazilians are impacted by the history of colonization and slavery, which has resulted in high income and education inequalities. Despite these injustices, Afro-Brazilians have maintained diasporic identities and cultural traditions in their communities. Based on ethnographic research that took place in Salvador, Brazil, in 2024, this project examines how Afro-Brazilians have built resilience in the face of inequality by investing in and maintaining a wealth of African cultural traditions such as dance, religion, music, and art.
