Jeje: repensando nações e transnacionalismo

Teóricos e observadores do transnacionalismo, ou globalização, tendem a perceber o fenômeno como sendo novo e antagônico à nação territorial. Este ensaio pretende demonstrar a célebre, porém pouco compreendida, natureza transnacional e histórica de uma "nação" africana no Brasil. Busca mostrar também que as identidades negras transnacionais evoluíram em um diálogo mutuamente transformativo com a nação territorial. Portanto, longe de prognosticar a morte desta última, este e outros fenômenos transnacionais têm sido essenciais na construção da nação territorial americana.Theorists and observers of transnationalism, or globalization, tend to regard the phenomenon as new and as antagonistic to the territorial nation. This essay seeks to establish the historical and transnational nature of one famous but little-understood African "nation" in Brazil and to show that such transnational black identities have evolved in a mutually transformative dialogue with the territorial nation. Therefore, far from prefiguring the demise of the territorial nation, these and other such transnational phenomena have been critical to the very construction of the American territorial nation
