Millie Gone to Brazil
Femicide and migration in early 20th century Barbados - Brazil
by Elaine P. Rocha (The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados)
Elaine Rocha’s book explores the nature of intimate partner violence against black women, using the stories of two black Barbadian women who were brutally murdered in the early part of the twentieth century — one in Barbados and one in Brazil. Her sensitive and incisive historical analysis locates these stories in the intersections between gender and labour history and provides a grim reminder that black women in the Americas are still subjected to such acts of violence today.
