Earth – Afro-Indigenous Anthology

Antônio Bispo dos Santos

Earth – Afro-Indigenous Anthology is a landmark co-publication between PISEAGRAMA and Ubu, gathering 25 essential essays published throughout the magazine's thirteen-year history alongside previously unreleased works. This comprehensive collection examines the multifaceted relationships between the land and the city, politics, climate, and the human body. These perspectives are drawn from a wide array of lived realities, including quilombos, indigenous territories, urban peripheries, settlements, extractive reserves, and forests, as well as the unique cultural and social spaces of favelas, terreiros, and traditional "reinados."

The volume offers profound reflections on the biocultural diversity of the territory known as Brazil, providing critical speculation on the impasses of the Anthropocene. Featuring the powerful voices of leaders and thinkers such as Jerá Guarani, Antônio Bispo dos Santos, Davi Kopenawa, Célia Xakriabá, and Glicéria Tupinambá, the anthology serves as an urgent call for a renewed engagement with the earth. Accompanied by the evocative art of Jaime Lauriano and Matheus Ribs, this work expands our collective imagination of coexistence and provides a vital framework for understanding a territory in constant flux.
