Summary:

The 2-volume set perpetuates, in texts and images, the story of Florinda Anna do Nascimento and presents the entire collection of jewelry from the collection of Itamar Musse. The publication clarifies capital facts about the conditions in which black women lived in Bahia in the 19th and20th centuries. And it reveals the impressive history of Florinda Anna do Nascimento, affectionately called Dona Fulô. The first book in the box, Preciosa Florinda (Beautiful Florinda) brings together texts in different areas of Brazilian art and culture, focusing on the character's trajectory Florinda Anna, born in 1828 in the main house of a plantation farm in the Recôncavo in Bahia, having lived most of its 103 years in Salvador. Based on records unknown for many years, and accompanied by an iconography, the work reveals the economic, social and cultural performance of enslaved and freed black women in Bahian society in the nineteenth century, characterized, until then, by analyses that bet on the exclusion and invisibility of these women. The work brings to light documentation and photos for more than a century hidden or corrupted in its interpretation. Gilberto Gil composed the poem especially for the edition "Florindas". The second book, Joias na Bahia dos séculos XVIII e XIX (Jewels in Bahia in the 18th and 19th centuries) is an augmented reprint of a 2017 book, now including an exuberant photo essay by artist Christian Cravo with the actress and singer Zezé Motta, as well as new essays and photos of Pierre Verger of his visit to Brotherhood of Boa Morte, in Recôncavo. The work reveals the history and opulence of the "Jewels of Bahians", used as adornments or votive jewelry by free and freed black women (but also by enslaved women), that in Brazil during the colonial and imperial periods broke with the order and established themselves as matriarchs, economically and socially independent, influential in families, many of them formed by affinity, and in the community itself. Florinda Anna do Nascimento; the main character from the other book in the box, is one of those rescued characters. She also appears in the work of artist Vik Muniz printed on the cover.
