Emancipatory Narratives & Enslaved Motherhood
#Slaveryarchive Book Prize 2024 finalist Emancipatory Narratives & Enslaved Motherhood examines three major currents in the historiography of Brazilian slavery: manumission, miscegenation, and creolisation. It revisits themes central to the history of slavery and race relations in Brazil, updates the research about them, and revises interpretations of the role of gender and reproduction within them. First, about the preponderance of women and children in manumission; second, about the association of black female mobility with intimate inter-racial relations; third, about the racialised and gendered routes to freed status; and fourth, about the legacies of West African female socio-economic b...
The Chattel Principle
This wide-ranging book presents the first comprehensive and comparative account of the slave trade within the nations and colonial systems of the Americas. While most scholarly attention to slavery in the Americas has concentrated on international transatlantic trade, the essays in this volume focus on the slave trades within Brazil, the West Indies, and the Southern states of the United States after the closing of the Atlantic slave trade. The contributors cast new light upon questions that have framed the study of slavery in the Americas for decades. The book investigates such topics as the illegal slave trade in Cuba, the Creole slave revolt in the U.S., and the debate between pro- and antislavery factions over the interstate slave trade in the South. Together, the authors offer fresh and provocative insights into the interrelations of capitalism, sovereignty, and slavery.
Slavery in Brazil
This is the first complete modern survey of the institution of slavery in Brazil and how it affected the lives of enslaved Africans. It is based on major new research on the institution of slavery and the role of Africans and their descendants in Brazil. This book aims to introduce the reader to this latest research, both to elucidate the Brazilian experience and to provide a basis for comparisons with all other American slave systems.
Formação social do Brasil
Formação social do Brasil – Etnia, cultura e poder articula tópicos temáticos de aspectos originais da formação étnica, cultural e política da sociedade brasileira, desde as origens pré-históricas à Primeira República. Identifica resultados da miscigenação de diferentes grupos étnicos,fundamentais da estratificação social; ressalta contribuições culturais para a constituição dos modos brasileiros de pensar sobre si e os outros; destaca as emoções e sensações humanas; observa modos de agir na busca dos meios de produzir e consumir da população e distingue condutas de gestores públicos e empresariais. Traça como linhas gerais da cultura nacional manifestações de alegria,sociabilidade e generosidade, contrapostas por um jeito manhoso,chistoso e burlesco, sem que astúcias, vadiagens e ilicitudes,praticadas por ínfima minoria da população, caracterizassem o perfil sociocultural brasileiro.
Race, State, and Armed Forces in Independence-Era Brazil
Focusing on the military institutions (army, militia, and National Guard) of Bahia, Brazil, this book analyzes the regions transition from Portuguese colony to province of the Brazilian Empire. It examines the social, racial, and cultural dimensions of post-independence state-building in one of the principal slave plantation regions of the Americas. Contrary to those who stress the autonomy of the Brazilian state, this book documents the close connections between the locally-organized armed forces and society in the late colonial period. Racially segregated and mirroring the class hierarchies of the larger society, these military institutions were profoundly transformed by the war for inde...
