This 2000 book examines the demographic and economic history of
slavery in Minas Gerais, the single largest slave-holding region in
Brazil, from its settlement in the early eighteenth century until
the abolition of Brazilian slavery in 1888. It utilizes the largest
database ever assembled on a slave population in the Americas to
reconstruct and analyse the unique history of slave labour in Minas
Gerais. This slave population was remarkable in its ability to
diversify economically as well as in increasing through natural
reproduction, rather than through importation via the
trans-atlantic slave trade. Minas Gerais therefore invites
comparison with the patterns of slave reproduction found in the
United States' South, heretofore considered unique. Extensively
researched and finely documented, this book places the history of a
unique Brazilian slave community into comparative perspective.
