PrincessEurope as the object of desire
Some memorable quotes from Dr Charles Kriel’s guest post on bylinesupplement about Marco Rubio’s Munich speech: Trump and The Far Right Know What We’ve Forgotten
In 1983, the political theorist Cedric Robinson published Black Marxism, a study of how enslaved Africans resisted the most comprehensive system of information dominance in modern history. The plantation controlled everything: who counted as human, who could speak, what counted as knowledge, what constituted reality. Total narrative control. And it failed.
Escaped enslaved people constructed autonomous societies, maroon communities and quilombos, settlements in the forests and mountains beyond the plantation’s reach. They built networks of mutual support and escape that stretched across continents. Robinson’s insight cut deep: this resistance did not operate by opposing the plantation’s narrative. Its success was in constructing something else.
And
Europe has already become the object of desire.
Europe’s political response? Panic. Walls. Frontex patrols. Deportation agreements. Europe treats the proof of its own desirability as a security threat.
Marco Rubio spoke about migration threatening “the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture and the future of our people.” He framed desire as danger. European leaders have adopted the same framing. They have let the far right define the meaning of the most powerful evidence of European success available to them.

MikeDunnAuthorToday, for Black History Month, we remember events of February 6, 1694: When the Brazilian authorities captured Dandara, warrior queen of the Quilombo dos Palmares. She committed suicide to avoid being forced back into slavery. Quilombo dos Palmares was a community of Afro-Brazilian people who freed themselves from enslavement. The community survived for nearly 90 years, with up to 30,000 residents, before the government finally suppressed it in 1694. Members of the community would raid plantations, slaughter the owners and free the enslaved people to come join them in Palmares. They used guerilla warfare, using weapons obtained from Portuguese traders and, possibly, capoeira.
As a young girl, Dandara joined a group of Afro-Brazilians to fight against slavery in Brazil. As an adult, she helped create military strategies to protect Palmares. She played an important role in making her husband, Zumbi dos Palmares, cut ties with his uncle Ganga-Zumba, who was the first big chief of Quilombo dos Palmares. In 1678, Ganga-Zumba signed a peace treaty with the government. All those born in Palmares were to be free and given permission to engage in commerce. However, in exchange, they had to stop giving refuge to runaway slaves and collaborate with the Portuguese authorities in arresting runaways. Dandara and Zumbi opposed the deal because it did not end slavery and made Palmares complicit in its perpetuation.
The story of Zumbi, Dandara and the Quilombo do Palmares is depicted in the truly superb 1984 film “Quilombo,” directed by Carlos Diegues, with music by Gilberto Gil.

Quilombos, communities of former slaves in Brazil, press for land rights
About 40 minutes by boat from the Brazilian city of Belem where this year's U.N. climate talks are being held is a community of about 500 residents who are descendants of former slaves. Many such communities, which are called quilombos, are pushing the Brazilian government to give them titles to lands that they say they have been on for generations. Indigenous peoples in the Amazon make similar demands. They and residents of quilombos argue they often have a role in protecting forests. That's one of the major areas of emphasis for the current COP 30 climate talks and in general the fight against climate change.
