  abstract: "The epic rendering of a Black woman's journey through slavery and liberation, set in 17th-century colonial Brazil. "Palmares" recounts the journey of Almeyda, a Black slave girl who comes of age on Portuguese plantations and escapes to a fugitive slave settlement called Palmares. Following its destruction, Almeyda embarks on a journey across colonial Brazil to find her husband lost in battle. Her story brings to life a world impacted by greed, conquest, and colonial desire. She encounters a mad lexicographer, desperate to avoid military service; a village that praises a god living in a nearby cave; and a medicine woman who offers great magic, at a greater price."--
  table of contents: Almeydita -- Quilombo -- A leap through time and spirit -- The narratives of Barcala Aprigio -- The book of Jaguara and the apprentice -- Curandeira -- Almeyda continues her journey, or the new Palmares.
