The Boundaries of Freedom: Slavery, Abolition, and the Making of Modern Brazil de Brodwyn Fischer

The Boundaries of Freedom: Slavery, Abolition, and the Making of Modern Brazil: Afro-Latin America

Editat de Brodwyn Fischer, Keila Grinberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 aug 2023
The Boundaries of Freedom brings together, for the first time in English, writings on the social and cultural history of Brazilian slavery, emphasizing the centrality of slavery, abolition, and Black subjectivity in the forging of modern Brazil. Nearly five million enslaved Africans were forced to Brazil's shores over four and a half centuries, making slavery integral to every aspect of its colonial and national history, stretching beyond temporal and geographical boundaries. This book introduces English-language readers to a paradigm-shifting renaissance in Brazilian scholarship that has taken place in the past several decades, upending longstanding assumptions on slavery's relation to law, property, sexuality and family; reconceiving understandings of slave economies; and engaging with issues of agency, autonomy, and freedom. These vibrant debates are explored in fifteen essays that place the Brazilian experience in dialogue with the afterlives of slavery worldwide. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Recenzii

'This pathbreaking volume reveals and refines the signature methods that have placed the 'Brazilian school' at the forefront of Latin American historiographies of slavery, abolition, and post-emancipation societies. Moving nimbly between broad processes and lived experience, contributors offer new perspectives, from the South Atlantic, on the urgent question of how dynamics rooted in slavery persist so powerfully after slavery's end.' Paulina L. Alberto, author of Black Legend: The Many Lives of Raúl Grigera and the Power of Racial Storytelling in Argentina
'The Boundaries of Freedom makes available in English the best scholarship being done on slavery, emancipation, and their legacy in Brazil. The themes of illegal enslavement, the precariousness of freedom, and the afterlives of slavery are Atlantic in scope, thus inviting dialogue and comparison with studies on slavery and race in the US and the Caribbean.' Sidney Chalhoub, Harvard University
'A remarkable volume on the end of Brazilian slavery by some of the best scholars who write on that subject. They examine the complexities and social costs of slavery and abolition not only on politics, law, and economy, but also on the culture and the intimate lived experience of all touched by slavery and its heritage of racism. Required reading for anyone interested in slavery's legacy in the Atlantic world.' Stuart B. Schwartz, Yale University
'Throughout the nineteenth century, Brazil was simultaneously home to an economy still dependent on enslaved labor and the transatlantic slave trade, and a rapidly growing free population of African descent. These extraordinary circumstances are the basis for the complex and fascinating histories of struggle over questions of liberty, property, and identity that fill the pages of this exciting collection of essays.' Barbara Weinstein, New York University
