Parents and Daughters: Change in the Practice of Dowry in São Paulo (1600–1770)
It is generally accepted that there were few changes in the structure of the Brazilian colonial family, and that only in the nineteenth century did the power of the patriarch decline. This chapter challenges the view of an immutable colonial family by describing significant changes in the practice of dowry between the mid-seventeenth and mid-eighteenth centuries that reflect a shift in patriarchal/parental power. By the first half of the eighteen…
Vanishing Indians: The Social Construction of Race in Colonial São Paulo
Much has been written about race and race stereotyping in Brazil in relation to African-Brazilians and their mixed African-European descendants. The situation of Indians and their mixed-blood descendants has been studied much less. In fact, the word mestizo as it is used in Spanish America does not translate well into Portuguese, for in Portuguese a mestiço can be any mixture. In the case of Brazil, it can mean either a descendant of Indian-Europ…
The Women of Colonial Latin America
Susan Socolow’s new book is an excellent synthesis of the literature on colonial Latin American women. The author’s goal is to “understand women in their time and their society, without judging them by the standards of our political or social agendas” (pp. 3– 4). In this she is successful. Contrary to some previous works, she does not present colonial women as mostly empowered or mostly victimized by their culture, but instead carefully delineate…

Concubinage in Colonial Brazil: The Inequalities of Race, Class, and Gender
Colonial society's requirement that marriage must be endogamous meant that the only possible long-term sexual relationship between a man of superior status in regard to class and/or race and a woman of inferior status was concubinage. Focusing on racial differences, this study documents such inequality within concubi nage and also demonstrates that despite the strong Christian endorsement of marriage, the church also subscribed to the idea that m…

Widows as Obstacles to Business: British Objections to Brazilian Marriage and Inheritance Laws
Implicit in the hegemonic 'civilizing' discourse of nineteenth-century British imperialism was the assumption that Great Britain was a model to be followed by backward societies. Included in the British characterisics to be emulated was the status of their women. In this article I turn this assumption on its head by arguing that the capital accumulation permitting the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain was furthered not only by primogeniture,…
Disappearance of the Dowry: Women, Families, and Social Change in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1600-1900
Transition Toward Slavery: Changing Legal Practice Regarding Indians in Seventeenth-Century São Paulo
A seventeenth-century inhabitant of São Paulo once remarked that Indians were "the most profitable property in this land." Legally, however, Indians were not property at all, for the crown explicitly prohibited their enslavement. During most of the seventeenth century, the settlers of São Paulo complied with the letter of the law and did not officially give their Indian servants any monetary value, and though they often sold them, the sales were …
