Description

The Muslim slave uprising in Bahia in 1835, though unsuccessful in winning freedom for the rebels, had national repercussions, making it the most important urban slave rebellion in the Americas and the only one in which Islam played a major role. Joao Jose Reis draws on hundreds of police and trial records in which Africans, despite obvious intimidation, spoke out about their cultural, social, economic, religious, and domestic lives in Salvador.

First Sentence

Slave Rebellion in Brazil is a considerably revised and expanded version of my book Rebeliao escrava no Brasil, first published in 1986 in Brazil.
