Talk:Zumbi

message: I think it is important to mention tha people in Brazil tend to repudiate the term "afro-brazilian", which tends to be implied by foreigners to the Brazilians of Black origins. --Pinnecco 22:05, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Surely Quilombo dos Palmares deserves an article of its own; currently it redirects here.
Daniel Brown, "Songs of Slavery", Index on Censorship, Volume 36, Number 1, 2007, p. 138–140, on p. 139 refers to the kingdom as "Los Palmeros"; I've made that a redirect to Quilombo dos Palmares, but it seems wrong to make it a redirect to one man. Brown says it was "about one-third the size of Portugal", survived through the entire 17th century, and had a population of "up to 20,000 people," and that its social and agricultural patterns reflected those of Africa; however, Brown's article (which was mainly about music) isn't much of a reference for size or population, especially if stacked up against Braudel. - Jmabel | Talk 21:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Leonard Abrams, creator of the film "Quilombo Country," has suggested to me that Zumbi's name lives on in the word "zombie"--that is, a person who defies the grave. Any lexicographers out there care to comment?
--Ken Atkatz katkatz@nyc.rr.com, 16 March 2009
In the lusophone wikipedia the word "Zumbi" is said to come from the african word "nzumbe", the very same orign of the word zombie. Actually, in Brazil the word zumbi means zombie, but I am not sure about the relation between him and the word been intentional. 189.13.141.54 (talk) 01:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'm a historian from Brazil, I hope you know that the account here about Zumbi is highly fictional and less than 1% is corroborated by modern historiography. Zumbi was NOT raised by a catholic priest, did NOT fight for the end of slavery in Brazil, did NOT fight capoeira(which was created only 50 years after his death)and did not do most of the other things this article mentions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.95.10.17 (talk) 13:56, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I plan to explain further on Quilombos communities under the Quilombos section with regards to the inhabitant’s occupations and means of production. For this I will be using the journal article Zumbi and the Republic of Os Palmares page 62. It is important to provide a better understanding of the Quilombos establishments. 
Under the importance today section I want to write about how Zumbi is a symbol for blacks and Brazilians in general. This information would come from the journal article Jorge Froes, Ronald Augusto and Joao Batista Rodrigues and Bruce Wills Callaloo Vol. 18, no 4, African Brazilian Literature: A Special Issue (Autumn, 1995), pp. 751-752. The image of Zumbi today is important in understanding the historical impacts of his life.
Under the importance today section I also plan on writing some of the commemorating events and projects for Zumbi still held today. This information will come from the source article The Quilombo of Palmares: A New Overview of a Maroon State in Seventeenth-Century Brazil p 547 by Robert Nelson Anderson. It is important to show how Zumbi has shaped modern day Brazil and its people.
Under the origins section I plan on expanding the information on how the settlement was first found. It is unclear on how the settlement began and that is an important aspect of how it functions. I plan on using the source article Brazil’s Little Angola by Brian Fagan.
Under Quilombos section I am going to add information on the internal conflicts amongst the inhabitants of these settlements. This is important because it allows us to more fully understand the society and in relation to Zumbi. I plan on using the source article Conflict and the Interpretation of Palmares, a Brazilian Runaway Polity by Pedro Paulo A. Funari.
