The Boundaries of Freedom brings together, for the first time in
English, key scholars writing on the social and cultural history of
Brazilian slavery, emphasizing the centrality of slavery,
abolition, and Black subjectivity in the forging of modern Brazil,
the largest and most enduring slave society in the Americas. Nearly
five million enslaved Africans were forced to Brazil's shores over
four and a half centuries, making slavery integral to every aspect
of its colonial and national history, stretching beyond temporal
and geographical boundaries. This book introduces English-language
readers to a paradigm-shifting renaissance in Brazilian scholarship
that has taken place in the past several decades, upending
longstanding assumptions on slavery's relation to law, property,
sexuality and family; reconceiving understandings of slave
economies; and engaging with issues of agency, autonomy, and
freedom. These vibrant debates are explored in fifteen essays that
place the Brazilian experience in dialogue with the afterlives of
slavery worldwide.
