In Slavery Unseen, Lamonte Aidoo upends the narrative of Brazil as
a racial democracy, showing how the myth of racial democracy elides
the history of sexual violence, patriarchal terror, and
exploitation of slaves. Drawing on sources ranging from inquisition
trial documents to travel accounts and literature, Aidoo
demonstrates how interracial and same-sex sexual violence operated
as a key mechanism of the production and perpetuation of slavery as
well as racial and gender inequality. The myth of racial democracy,
Aidoo contends, does not stem from or reflect racial progress;
rather, it is an antiblack apparatus that upholds and protects the
heteronormative white patriarchy throughout Brazil's past and on
into the present.
