From Africa to Brazil traces the flows of enslaved Africans from
the broad region of Africa called Upper Guinea to Amazonia, Brazil.
These two regions, though separated by an ocean, were made one by a
slave route. Walter Hawthorne considers why planters in Amazonia
wanted African slaves, why and how those sent to Amazonia were
enslaved, and what their Middle Passage experience was like. The
book is also concerned with how Africans in diaspora shaped labor
regimes, determined the nature of their family lives, and crafted
religious beliefs that were similar to those they had known before
enslavement. It presents the only book-length examination of
African slavery in Amazonia and identifies with precision the
locations in Africa from where members of a large diaspora in the
Americas hailed. From Africa to Brazil also proposes new directions
for scholarship focused on how immigrant groups created new or
recreated old cultures.
