Resumo: | This article intends to analyze transnationally black carnival performances of the cordões and canboulay bands in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, in the Post-Abolition period. The aim is to understand the collective strategies of black subjects to build autonomy spaces and claim and occupy public spaces in contexts of hegemony of racialized and racist views. This comparative perspective allows us to reflect on Post-Abolition as an historical Atlantic problem, approaching the Caribbean and the South Atlantic. To do so, we will use primary sources of archives in Rio de Janeiro and London, especially police and government documents, at the National Archives, and at the National Archives of Brazil, and newspapers, magazines and memorialists, archived in the British Library and the Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil. We conclude that the creators of the cordões and canboulay bands produced dissident black performances and communicated to broad and varied audiences identities that combined Afro-American practices and expressions of resistance to attacks by public forces, while reinforcing their humanity against stereotypes about being black in the post-abolition of the Americas, whether in colonial context or in an independent republic. |

Se pretende comprender las estrategias colectivas de los sujetos negros para construir espacios de autonomía y reclamar y ocupar espacios públicos en contextos de hegemonía de visiones racializados y racistas. Esta perspectiva comparativa nos permite reflexionar sobre el Post-Abolición como problema histórico Atlántico, aproximando el Caribe y el Atlántico Sur. Para ello, utilizaremos fuentes primarias de archivos en Río de Janeiro y en Londres, especialmente documentación policial y gubernamental, en el National Archives, y en el Archivo Nacional de Brasil, y periódicos, revistas y memorialistas, archivados en la British Library y en la Biblioteca Nacional. Concluimos que los sujetos creadores de los cordões y canboulay bands produjeron performances negras disidentes y comunicaron a públicos amplios y variados identidades que conjugaban prácticas afro-americanas y expresiones de resistencia a los ataques de fuerzas públicas, mientras que reforzaban su humanidad frente a los estereotipos sobre ser negro en la post-abolición de las Américas, ya sea en contexto colonial o en una república independiente.Este artigo pretende analisar de forma transnacional performances negras carnavalescas dos cordões e das canboulay bands nas cidades de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, e Port-of-Spain, Trindad e Tobago, no período Pós Abolição.
