Download e-book for kindle: The Hierarchies of Slavery in Santos, Brazil, 1822–1888 by Ian Read

By Ian Read

regardless of the inherent brutality of slavery, a few slaves may perhaps locate small yet vital possibilities to behave decisively. The Hierarchies of Slavery in Santos, Brazil, 1822–1888 explores such moments of chance and resistance in Santos, a Southeastern township in Imperial Brazil. It argues that slavery in Brazil was once hierarchical: slaves' fleeting percentages to shape households, paintings jobs that may now not kill or maim, steer clear of debilitating illnesses, or discover a (legal or unlawful) pathway out of slavery have been hugely encouraged through their demographic history and their vendors' social place. via tracing the lives of slaves and proprietors via a number of documents, the writer is ready to convey that the cruelties that slaves confronted weren't both shared. One very important implication is that inner stratification most likely helped perpetuate slavery simply because there has been the idea, notwithstanding illusionary, that escaping captivity was once no longer worthy for social mobility.
