Product Description
This book is an introductory history of racial slavery in the Americas. Brazil and Cuba were among the first colonial societies to establish slavery in the early sixteenth century. Approximately a century later British colonial Virginia was founded, and slavery became an integral part of local culture and society. In all three nations, slavery spread to nearly every region, and in many areas it was the principal labor system utilized by rural and urban elites. This is the first work that systemically surveys slavery in the three nations from comparative perspectives. Chapters focus on slave narratives, demography, economy, culture, resistance and rebellions, and the causes of abolition.

Casadejunqueinc (los angeles)
This book examines the history of slavery in Brazil, Cuba and the United States, and it offers a fair and unbiased comparison between the situation in all three countries. Includes an extensive bibliography which should be useful for librarians, researchers and students. I highly recommend the purchase of this book for high school, public and university library collections.
