Originally published in Portuguese in 1994 as Negros da Terra, this
field-defining work by the late historian John M. Monteiro has been
translated into English by Professors Barbara Weinstein and James
Woodard. Monteiro's work established ethnohistory as a field in
colonial Brazilian studies and made indigenous history a vital part
of how scholars understand Brazil's colonial past. Drawing on over
two dozen collections on both sides of the Atlantic, Monteiro
rescued Indians from invisibility, documenting their role as both
objects and actors in Brazil's colonial past and, most importantly,
providing the first history of Indian slavery in Brazil. Monteiro
demonstrates how Indian enslavement, not exploration or the search
for mineral wealth, was the driving force behind expansion out of
Sao Paulo and through the South American backcountry. This book
makes a groundbreaking contribution not only to Latin American
history, but to the history of indigenous slavery in the Americas
generally.
