Policing Freedom
Explores the transformation of punishment in ninteneeth-century Brazil and its intersection with changes in labor relations in the Atlantic World.
Coercion and Wage Labour
Coercion and Wage Labour presents novel histories of people who experienced physical, social, political or cultural compulsion in the course of paid work. Broad in scope, the chapters examine diverse areas of work including textile production, war industries, civil service and domestic labour, in contexts from the Middle Ages to the present day. They demonstrate that wages have consistently shaped working people’s experiences, and failed to protect workers from coercion. Instead, wages emerge as versatile tools to bind, control, and exploit workers. Remuneration mirrors the distribution of power in labour relations, often separating employers physically and emotionally from their employees...

Current Trends in Slavery Studies in Brazil
African slaves were brought into Brazil as early as 1530, with abolition in 1888. During those three centuries, Brazil received 4,000,000 Africans, over four times as many as any other American destination. Comparatively speaking, Brazil received 40% of the total number of Africans brought to the Americas, while the US received approximately 10%. Due to this huge influx of Africans, today Brazil’s African-descended population is larger than the population of most African countries. Therefore, it is no surprise that Slavery Studies are one of the most consolidated fields in Brazilian historiography. In the last decades, a number of discussions have flourished on issues such as slave agency,...
Peasant Rebellion in a Slave Society
Peasant Rebellion in a Slave Society identifies the immediate and remote reasons for the Balaiada revolt in Maranhão, Brazil, analyzing the special characteristics of the region that favored the development of a relatively independent peasantry within and around the cotton, rice, cassava, and cattle estates. The book explores the demography of Maranhão and patterns of land ownership and documents the rapid degradation of the environment by plantation‐based export agriculture. The analysis of various types of coerced and free labor, the oligopolistic structure of the colonial economy, and the key determinants of class and status contextualizes the conflict potential in Maranhão during th...

DO ABSOLUTISMO PATERNO E DE TANTOS TRIBUNAIS CASEIROS - DIREITO PENAL E CASTIGOS AOS ESCRAVOS NO BRASIL (1830-1888)
“Em termos gerais, o trabalho apresenta um avanço no campo da História do Direito Penal ao apresentar a coexistência na modernidade jurídica de um sistema de penas públicas baseadas no princípio da legalidade com a permanência de uma prática de punições privadas, em um momento em que o Estado passava a avocar o monopólio da jurisdição e do emprego da violência. Portanto, ultrapassa do objetivo primeiro e aparente de narrar como a lei e os juristas brasileiros encaravam tal fenômeno para discutir, em linhas mais amplas, a efetiva configuração do direito penal moderno a despeito de mitologias jurídicas (P. Grossi)”
O naturalismo e o naturalismo no Brasil
O naturalismo não chegou atrasado ao Brasil, diferentemente do que as histórias da literatura normalmente afirmam. Pelo contrário, o debate que o antecedeu e do qual participou, pela negativa, Machado de Assis aconteceu aqui antes da vaga de internacionalização do naturalismo pelo mundo, iniciada com "L'assommoir" (1877), de Émile Zola. E rendeu obras que foram muito além da mera reprodução de um modelo francês. Este trabalho recupera aspectos fundamentais do debate sobre o naturalismo no Brasil e no mundo e analisa em profundidade romances de Aluísio Azevedo, com destaque para "O cortiço", Júlio Ribeiro, Adolfo Caminha e outros escritores que fizeram do movimento a estética dominante da cena literária brasileira do final do século 19.
