This article examines the construction and use of a diasporan framework for analyzing Afro-Atlantic history during the postabolition era. It summarizes the findings of the author's research on the first fifty years after the end of slavery in Brazil (1888–1938). The use of a diasporan framework illuminates patterns, otherwise obscured by traditional monographic approaches, that can be compared with other Afro-Atlantic communities.

Résumé:

Cet article examine la construction et l'utilisation d'une structure diasporique pour analyser l'histoire afro-atlantique pendant l'ère suivant l'abolition de l'esclavage. Il résume les résultats des recherches de l'auteur portant sur les cinquante premières années suivant la fin de l'esclavage au Brésil (1888–1938). L'utilisation d'une base diasporique a permis de clarifier des schémas autrement obscurcis par les approches monographiques traditionnelles comparables à d'autres communautés afro-atlantiques.
