Description

Peasant Rebellion in a Slave Society identifies the immediate and remote reasons for the Balaiada revolt in Maranhão, Brazil, analyzing the special characteristics of the region that favored the development of a relatively independent peasantry within and around the cotton, rice, cassava and cattle estates. The book explores the demography of Maranhão's populations and patterns of land ownership and documents the rapid degradation of the environment by plantation-based export agriculture. The analysis of various types of coerced and free labour, the oligopolistic structure of the colonial economy and the key determinants of class and status contextualize the conflict potential in Maranhão during the first half of the nineteenth century. The "people of color," as they called themselves, and enslaved workers from plantations, rose against a white and conservative elite, claiming their constitutional rights. The central government in Rio de Janeiro had to dispatch considerable amounts of money and troops to defeat the insurrection and subject the province again to imperial rule and enslaved workers and peasants to the plantocracy. This richly illustrated volume will be of interest to students and scholars working on slavery in the Americas and the Atlantic world, as well as Brazilian history.
