	Recreating Africa: Culture, Kinship, and Religion in the African-Portuguese World, 1441-1770, by James H. Sweet. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Among the few scholars who have written on the African dimensions of slave culture in Brazil prior to 1770, Luiz Mott, Ronaldo Vainfas, and Laura de Mello e Souza have made the most important contributions.[8] Mott and Vainfas have done pathbreaking works on the sexuality of African slaves in early colonial Brazil.
		Mott's work, in particular, does an exemplary job of tracing the same-sex practices of slaves from Africa to Brazil.
		Mott has also done important studies on slave religion, stressing Portuguese-African syncretism over specific African beliefs.[9] Souza's O diabo e a terra de Santa Cruz provides a useful comparison of Portuguese, Indian, and African perceptions of witchcraft in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

	Challenging National Heroes and Myths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In an update of Luiz Mott's 1996 report, Grupo Gay da Bahia documented 130 murders of gays, transvestite, and lesbians in 1997, recognizing that these statistics were incomplete because they lacked information from many of Brazil's states.
		For example, in 1995 Luiz Mott, a long-time gay activist and professor of anthropology, issued a statement on the three hundredth anniversary of the execution of Zumbí asserting that the Palmares quilombo leader might have been gay.
		Whether or not one agrees with Mott's reasoning, methodology, or conclusions (and on the issue of Zumbí's homoerotic orientation, I tend not to agree with them), the point is that, with rare exceptions, Brazilian national heroes and myths are inextricably interwoven with notions of heteronormativity.

		In local censuses from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Luiz Mott has found a sizeable Indian population living in areas near the coast in the captaincy (later province) of Sergipe, located between Bahia and Alagoas.
		In the church records from 1813 for the comarca examined by Luiz Mott, "several Indians" were accused of incest.
		Yet, Mott's recent discovery of this uprising points to the posibility that future research may bring to light similar incidents in Porto Seguro.

		"We had to fight not only against homophobia, but also in favour of a policy of prevention, both in the population at risk as well as among bisexual young people who repressed their homoerotic tendencies," said Anthropology Professor and president of GGB Luiz Mott.
		Amnesty International, the U.S. State Department and the International Association of Gays and Lesbians have all described Brazil as one of the world champions in terms of murders of homosexuals and transvestites, along with Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Zimbabwe.
		He attributed that partly to Health Ministry fears that such a focus could drive up violence against the stigmatised population, and to the difficulty in addressing an issue regarded as taboo.

		In Brazil one homosexual is killed every two days by "hate crimes," according to Professor Dr. Luiz Mott, one of the icons in the fight for human rights in my country.
		While homosexuals feel comfortable expressing affection in the middle of Hyde Park, which is in front of the imposing Buckingham Palace in London, in Zimbabwe to be homosexual is unconstitutional, and gays and lesbians are arrested, beaten and suffer every kind of torture and humiliations simply because they exist.
