Between 1816 and 1817, Anastácio de Sant’Anna, a pardo (mixed-race) artist active in Salvador, a major port city in northeastern Brazil, produced the Guia de Caminhantes (“Guide for Walkers”), an unprecedented manuscript atlas of Brazil and the Americas. Sant’Anna’s Guia is one of the few extant cartographic works produced in the slavery-era Americas by a Black artist, yet it has gone almost unmentioned it Portuguese and English-language scholarship. In this talk, I provide an overview of the Guia and position it in conversation with the emergent subfield of Black Geographies.
