Combining modern scholarship with a wealth of documentary and
archival evidence, this is an authoritative portrait of the lives
of slaves and free persons of colour in colonial Brazil. The author
charts the working conditions, domestic lives, preoccupations and
aspirations of slaves and their fellow freed men. In a work which
underlines the validity and importance of minority histories, he
argues that the slaves and freedmen of colonial Brazil maintained
and preserved their own cultural identity, taking decisions
independently of the white ruling class. The result is not a
history of extremes - black and white, slave and master - but
instead an account of the ambiguities surrounding issues of race,
freedom and the individual, which provides an insight not only in
to the past and present of Brazil, but also into areas of racial
and social identity. With an extensive preface outlining recent
developments in the field, and a full and updated bibliography,
this edition of aims to provide information for students and
historians alike.
