Brazil was the American society that received the largest
contingent of African slaves in the Americas and the longest
lasting slave regime in the Western Hemisphere. 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. Although Brazilians have
incorporated many of the North American debates about slavery, they
have also developed a new set of questions about slave holding: the
nature of marriage, family, religion, and culture among the slaves
and free colored; the process of manumission; and the rise of the
free colored class during slavery. It is the aim of this book 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.
