"Scholar, poet, and visionary Beatriz Nascimento (1942-1995) was one of the most influential Black intellectuals in Brazilian history. Writing at the height of Brazil's military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985, Nascimento played an integral role in the consolidation of the Black political movement. A theorist, filmmaker, poet, political organizer, and historian, her research incorporated a broad range of topics, including African and Afro-Brazilian history, culture, and socio-political organization. Her most cited contributions were devoted to the history and idea of the quilombo, Black autonomous spaces in Brazil carved out from oppressive slave societies. This collection of the written works of Beatriz Nascimento was organized by Christen A. Smith, Archie Davis, and Beth???ania N. F. Gomes (Nascimento's daughter and heir).

It is divided into four parts: "The Black Woman"; "Race and Brazilian Society"; "Quilombo-Thoughts on Black Freedom and Liberation"; and "Black Aesthetics, Spirituality, Subjectivity and the Cosmic."
