Families, Manumission, and Freed People in Urban Minas Gerais in the Era of Atlantic Abolitionism
Late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Minas Gerais was heavily reliant on its slave labor force and invested in the social order shaped by slavery. The main systematic challenge to slavery was discrete negotiations of manumission that resulted in the freedom of a few individual slaves. This practice fueled the expansion of a free population of African descendants, who congregated most visibly in the captaincy's urban centers. Through an e…
Family, Stability, and Respectability
This article focuses on the history of an Afro-descendant family over its seven generations in one region of Minas Gerais. Although it is notoriously difficult to trace families founded by slaves, this one is an exception: it has proved possible to trace this family over a century and a half, and with a remarkable level of detail, because its members mostly stayed in one place. The implications of their permanence go beyond mere genealogy or fami…

Slave, Free, and Freedwomen
This essay, based on data from a broad, on-going research project, focuses on seven generations of the female members of a family initiated sometime in the 1740s in the town of São José do Rio das Mortes by a West African slave couple. The stability of the Moreira da Silva family contributed to its notable respectability within the community, not least thanks to the participation of its women in local affairs. Bearing in mind that common law prop…
Naming Practices in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-century Brazil
This article explores the onomastic universe of the parish of São José del Rei, Minas Gerais, during the period 1751–1890. The analysis draws upon a nearly complete set of parish registers of births, augmented by extensive marriage, death, and supplemental census records. The results of the research provide new information regarding patterns of naming at both the aggregate level of social groups and at the intergenerational level made accessible …

Este ensaio examina as representações identitárias referentes à condição legal e à cor dos indivíduos que eram amplamente utilizadas na sociedade escravista do Brasil setecentista e oitocentista. Em princípio, os termos forro(a) e liberto(a) designariam apenas ex-escravos, ou seja, aqueles que tivessem obtido alforria. Não seria uma condição que se passasse para a próxima geração já que esta, do ponto de vista legal, necessariamente nasceria livr…

The Financial Crisis of Abolition
John Schulz’s study of the financial upheaval taking place during the final months of the Brazilian Empire and the early years of the republic has been published in English after considerable delay. As the title suggests, the author’s principal argument is that the crisis known as the Encilhamento was caused by ill-advised government reactions to the abolition of Brazilian slavery in 1888. It is argued that by expanding monetary circulation in re…
Notarized And Baptismal Manumissions in the Parish Of SÃO José Do Rio Das Mortes, Minas Gerais (C. 1750-1850)
As regards the slave societies of the Americas, it is hard to imagine a more palpable example of social mobility than manumissions. The fact that exslaves were able to carve out a space for themselves within the larger slave societies attests to their resilience—a resilience that must have played a role in obtaining freedom in the first place—and demonstrates that a considerable measure of social and racial flux existed in at least some of those …
Voltando aos registros paroquiais de Minas colonial
Este artigo trata dos complexos temas de etnicidade e classificação social no Brasil dos séculos XVIII e XIX. Bases de dados substanciais, de fontes primárias distintas, permitem vislumbrar um quadro integrado dessa complexidade, tal como evoluiu nas Minas Gerais. A lógica no uso das categorias étnicas/de cor e sociais emerge pelo cruzamento de nomes e características individuais nos registros de batismo e de casamento e em listas nominativas. O …

Manumission practices in a late eighteenth‐century Brazilian Slave Parish
Reconsidering Textile Production in Late Colonial Brazil
Scholars have long recognized that the final quarter of the eighteenth century in Brazil witnessed an agricultural renaissance in which traditional exports expanded and new tropical products began to find their way overseas (Prado Júnior 1967; Novais 1979; Arruda 1980, 1986; Alden 1984). In recent years, more attention has been paid to the diversified productive activities supplying an increasingly consolidated domestic market during this period …

Proto-industrialisation in a Slave Society
As originally proposed in the early 1970s, the proto-industrialisation model was meant to serve as a more complete explanation of that phase in the general transition from agrarian feudalism to industrial capitalism rather vaguely referred to as the period of manufactures. Early proponents emphasised the role of proto-industrialisation in channelling development toward fully-fledged factory system industrialisation. Proto-industrial theories deal…
