From the middle of the nineteenth century until the 1888 abolition
of slavery in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro was home to the largest urban
population of enslaved workers anywhere in the Americas. It was
also the site of an incipient working-class consciousness that
expressed itself across seemingly distinct social categories. In
this volume, Marcelo Badaro Mattos demonstrates that these two
historical phenomena cannot be understood in isolation. Drawing on
a wide range of historical sources, Badaro Mattos reveals the
diverse labor arrangements and associative life of Rio's working
class, from which emerged the many strategies that workers both
free and unfree pursued in their struggles against oppression.
