| Summary: | The interview conducted in 2018 with the Brazilian historian and Africanist Alberto da Costa e Silva aimed at exploring the ramifications of the African diaspora and its influences on Brazilian agriculture. From this theme, he addressed the topics of food diet, adaptation of agricultural tools, slavery, and mining in Africa, Portugal and Brazil. Costa e Silva listed the peculiarities of the Africans, recognizing them as co-participants in the formation of the Brazilian society. In his speeches the researcher reported upon the typical ways of life, the customs and the knowledge, and how all these behaviours, mixed together, would form a new one with marks of Portuguese, indigenous and African origin, despite often devaluing one’s contribution to the benefit of the other. |
