    Open Access•Sidney Chalhoub•ARTICLE•International Review of Social…•2015•Cited by: 20•References: 19

    Although it seems that slaves in Brazil in the nineteenth century had a better chance of achieving freedom than their counterparts in other slave societies in the Americas, studies also show that a significant proportion of manumissions there were granted conditionally. Freedom might be dependent on a master's death, on a master's daughter marriage, on continued service for a number of years, etc. The article thus focuses on controversies regardi…

    Por ocasião da Independência (1822) e em anos subsequentes, a demanda por trabalho escravo para a produção de açúcar, algodão e café intensificou o tráfico negreiro e consolidou o comprometimento do Império brasileiro com a instituição da escravidão. No entanto, em decorrência de compromissos internacionais decorrentes do reconhecimento da Independência do país, o parlamento brasileiro aprovou uma lei de abolição do tráfico africano de escravos e…

  • Precariedade estrutural: O problema da liberdade no Brasil escravista (século XIX)

    A escravidão no Brasil apresentava como uma de suas características a possibilidade de acesso à alforria em taxas superiores a outras sociedades escravistas modernas. Apesar de a obtenção da liberdade ter sido sempre algo difícil aos escravos, o fato é que a ocorrência significativa de alforrias proporcionou a existência de contingentes importantes de negros livres e libertos na população brasileira oitocentista. O objetivo do artigo é mostrar qu…

  • The Precariousness of Freedom in a Slave Society (Brazil in the Nineteenth Century)

    Open Access•Sidney Chalhoub•ARTICLE•International Review of Social…•2011•Cited by: 38•References: 20

    One of the main features of slavery in Brazil was that slaves had a better chance of achieving freedom than was the case in other slave societies. However difficult freedom may have been to obtain, significant rates of manumission resulted in a high percentage of free and freed people of color in the population of the country throughout the nineteenth century. This article analyzes facets of the structural precariousness of freedom in nineteenth-…

    During the first half of the nineteenth century, as cholera and yellow fever epidemics ravaged the Old and the New World alike, Brazil seemed to enjoy the reputation of being a remarkably salubrious country.
