In 2019, Law No. 13816 was enacted determining that the name of Luiza Mahin be included in the Book of the Heroes and Heroines of Brazil. It is said that Luiz Gama stated that this African freedwoman was his mother and that she had been persecuted in Bahia after the Malê Revolt, in 1835. Either deported or as a refugee, she disappeared. Gama sought her out in Rio de Janeiro and learned that she supposedly had been expelled from Brazil along with other Africans accused of witchcraft. There is no doubt about Mahin’s historicity, although her life story remains shrouded in a mist of fiction and historical speculation.
