SUMMARY:"Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam."
DESCRIPTION:João Reis\, Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil\n\n\nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems.

SUMMARY:Skirball Talks: Angela Davis “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:What are the different tools for combating racism today\, after Obama’s presidency and the backlash of the Trump regime? What do the tools of struggle and emancipation look like\, and do aesthetics play a role? Please join us as activist\, scholar and writer Angela Davis discusses in the “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” lecture series.\n\nThrough her activism and scholarship over many decades\, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic\, racial\, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University\, Mills College\, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA\, Vassar\, Syracuse University the Claremont Colleges\, and Stanford University. Most recently she spent fifteen years at the University of California Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness – an interdisciplinary PhD program – and of Feminist Studies. Angela Davis is the author of ten books and has lectured throughout the United States as well as in Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, and South America. In recent years a persistent theme of her work has been the range of social problems associated with incarceration and the generalized criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She draws upon her own experiences in the early seventies as a person who spent eighteen months in jail and on trial\, after being placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.” She also has conducted extensive research on numerous issues related to race\, gender and imprisonment. Her recent books include Abolition Democracy and Are Prisons Obsolete? about the abolition of the prison industrial complex\, a new edition of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\, and a collection of essays entitled The Meaning of Freedom. Her most recent book of essays\, called Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement\, was published in February 2016. Angela Davis is a founding member of Critical Resistance\, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex. Internationally\, she is affiliated with Sisters Inside\, an abolitionist organization based in Queensland\, Australia that works in solidarity with women in prison. Like many educators\, Professor Davis is especially concerned with the general tendency to devote more resources and attention to the prison system than to educational institutions. Having helped to popularize the notion of a “prison industrial complex\,” she now urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.
