What's Happening in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil?

Bahia-Online (www.bahia-online.net) was the first online guide to Salvador & Environs in English, coming to life in 2001. "Environs" is an important word in this description, because Salvador is what it is because of its environs, the sugarcane country around the great bay over which Salvador presides. To a great degree Brazil is also what it is for this: The nation's national music was born in this hot crucible and its cultural fabric is interwoven with powerful strands originating in the massapé of the Recôncavo.

If you'll look at the list of ingredients in the food in your refrigerator or pantry, or in the cosmetics before your mirror, there's a great chance that "palm oil" will be included. This is dendé, extracted from a "nut" collected from beneath the fronds of dendenzeiros originally cultivated in Bahia, Brazil. Like hip-hop and rock 'n' roll, palm oil has spread across the globe with almost no global awareness of its origins and history.

Case Watkins (James Madison University) is the world's foremost expert on this, having authored Palm Oil Diaspora: Afro-Brazilian Landscapes and Economies on Bahia's Dendê Coast. Bahia is closer than you think!
