Thank you to everyone that joined us during the 18th Congress of the Brazilian Studies Association (BRASA), which took place July 7-10 at the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA) in Salvador, Brazil. Edward Shore’s panel addressed the landmark decision at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Quilombola Communities of Alcantara v. Brazil (2024), which was the first time the tribunal rendered a judgment finding Brazil responsible for its failure to title Quilombola territories in violation of Brazil’s Constitution and the American Convention on Human Rights. Quilombolas are inhabitants of quilombos, rural Black communities descended from enslaved Africans and Afro-Brazilians.

International conferences like BRASA empower Quilombolas to expand their networks, forge new connections with advocates and stakeholders, and publicize their struggle for territorial rights domestically and abroad. A special thank you to our co-panelists Dr. Davi Pereira Junior, Dr. Danilo Serejo Lopes, and Dr. Lorrayne Silva.
