Os povoados que aí se estabeleceram, com seus acanhados núcleos urbanos e seus inúmeros roçados e fazendas estavam, num primeiro momento, não interligados ao comércio de longa distância, o que fazia com que sua produção se destinasse aos mercados local e regional. Lençóes, vila desmembrada de Botucatu em 1865, não prescindiu do trabalho escravo em suas atividades econômicas. A análise de inventários post-mortem, de livros de notas cartoriais e registros paroquiais permite concluir que algumas características da população escrava desta vila de povoamento mais recente eram semelhantes às de outras áreas também não interligadas ao comércio de exportação. Deste modo, verificou-se em Lençóes uma ampla predominância dos proprietários de pequenos plantéis (de 1 a 5 escravos) que detinham uma pequena parcela da mão-de-obra. Por outro lado, algumas características da população escrava lençoense não eram comuns a outras áreas escravistas brasileiras. Entre elas, encontramos uma maior ocorrência de alforrias onerosas, ou seja, as que envolviam algum tipo de pagamento. Além disso, os preços alcançados pelas mulheres escravas eram, em média, semelhantes aos dos homens num determinado período, durante a década de 1860, resultado das dificuldades de reposição da mão-de-obra cativa e, conseqüentemente, valorização da mulher devido à sua condição de reprodutora. / The western part of the São Paulo province was settled throughout the 19th century, primarily due to coffee cultivation. Initially, settlements in this region, with its restricted urban areas and its countless fields and farmlands, were not connected to long distance trade, restricting trade to local and regional markets. Lençóes, a village that separated from Botucatu in 1865, did not give up slave labor as part of its economic activities. Through an analysis of post-mortem registers, books of registry offices and parish books we can infer that some later characteristics of the slave population in this village were similar to others that did not conduct export trade. For instance, there was a considerable predominance of small plantation owners (from 1 to 5 slaves) in Lençóes who did only a small amount of manual labor wore. In contrast, some characteristics of the slave population in Lençóes were not the same as in the other Brazilian slaveholding regions. Among them, we can find a wider occurrence of conditional liberations, in other words, liberation of slaves that involved some kind of payment. Moreover, during the 1860s average prices of slave women were similar to those of slave men. Because replacing slave labor was very difficult, the value of slave women increased due to their ability to reproduce.

O trabalho tem por objeto de estudo o tráfico de escravos realizado nos Rios da Guiné, em especial as feitorias de Bissau e Cacheu, que tinham por destino o Estado do Grão-Pará e Maranhão. Além do próprio negócio negreiro em África, também avaliaremos os desdobramentos econômicos do tráfico na economia amazônica. O recorte temporal começa no ano de 1756, com o início do funcionamento da Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão, empresa de caráter monopolista, que tinha por objetivo o fomento do comércio entre a metrópole e suas diversas possessões ultramarinas no Atlântico. Como marco final optamos pelo ano de 1807, pois com a chegada da Corte em 1808, a colônia mudou seu status passando a ser sede do Reino. / The work is the object of study slave trade conducted in the Rios da Guiné, especially the factories of Bissau and Cacheu, that were destined for the State of the Grão-Pará and Maranhão. In addition to the own slave business in Africa, will also evaluate the economic consequences of trafficking in the Amazon economy. The time frame begins in the year 1756, with the initial operation of the Companhia Geral do Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão, monopolist company, which aimed to promoting trade between the metropolis and its many overseas possessions in the Atlantic. As final milestone we chose the year 1807, because with the arrival of the Court in 1808, the colony changed its status becoming the seat of the kingdom.

Com base nesse personagem, foram analisados os comportamentos e a dinâmica social do comércio de escravos em Pernambuco no contexto Imperial do Brasil escravista, demonstrando assim, o mundo em que este personagem viveu e como ele o viveu. A partir das investigações das malhas tecidas pelos negociantes, suas influências políticas no comércio Atlântico de escravos e as relações com Francisco Antonio de Oliveira, foi possível compreender como ele se inseriu na economia, na política e nas ações do cotidiano nessa mesma sociedade; além disso, suas relações comerciais e políticas com a elite brasileira foram importantes para a compreensão da permanência do comércio de escravos, mesmo após a lei atitráfico de 1831, momento que o levou á diversificação dos seus investimentos financeiros, através da fundação de empresas e bancos em sociedade com importantes capitalistas. Sua busca pelo enriquecimento e poder o conduziu por caminhos que levaram ao título de Barão de Beberibe, agraciado em 1853. / This Dissertation investigates the transatlantic slave trade to Pernambuco, between 1820 and 1850, focusing on the life trajectory of a slave dealer, the Baron of Beberibe, Francisco Antonio de Oliveira. The study of that slave dealer’s social life and networks allows us to observe the dynamics and behavior of the slave trade in Imperial Brazil, and shows aspects and processes of the world he lived. His contacts with other businessmen, his political and economic influence allowed him to broaden his participation in the slave trade, the economy and politics of Pernambuco. His personal, political and mercantile networks allowed him to participate in the Brazilian imperial elite and later diversify his business interests, in order to include banking and other business partnerships with other merchants and businessmen in Pernambuco.

Os principais aspectos abordados são a difusão da produção de tabaco e do tráfico de escravos da Costa da Mina na capitania de Pernambuco. Os dois temas são relacionados às distintas fases pelas quais passou a economia da capitania e a do Brasil entre 1654 e 1760. Demonstra-se que aqueles setores tiveram sua dinâmica estreitamente vinculada à principal produção exportadora, seja do açúcar de Pernambuco, seja do ouro do centro-sul da colônia. / The difusion of tobacco production in Pernambuco captaincy and its slave trade bound to Costa da Mina are the main addressed subjetcs.

O ano em que as tentativas de rebelião ocorreram foi marcado pela instabilidade política. No Brasil, conservadores e liberais se digladiavam para tentar impor seu modelo de organização ao país. Na Europa, a Revolução de 1848 derrubou as principais casas monárquicas européias, além de acabar com a escravidão nas colônias francesas. Para complexizar o contexto, os ingleses estavam pressionando a sociedade escravista para que acabasse efetivamente o tráfico africano para o Brasil. Entre a escravatura das mais variadas regiões do país, todo esse complexo contexto político, aliado às formas tradicionais de organização comunitária, os encorajou a tentar obter a liberdade por meio de tentativas de insurreições que foram organizadas. Essas ações políticas da escravatura, embora não tenham alcançado sucesso imediato, criaram um ambiente de grande medo e tensão entre a população, pressionando a sociedade oitocentista a analisar mais profundamente o fim do tráfico africano de escravos / Abstract: This dissertation initially aims to understand a plan for a slave rebellion in 1848, in the region then known as Paulista West. That year was marked by political instability. In Brazil, conservatives and liberals battled for political control. In Europe, the Revolutions of 1848 took down the main monarchist regimes and ended slavery in the French colonies. In addition, England was pressing hard to effectively end the transatlantic slave trade. This unstable and complex political context encouraged many slaves from various regions of Brazil to plan insurrections through traditional forms of community organization. In spite of their immediate and apparent failure, the slaves succeeded to create great fear and tension amongst the general population, pressing the 19th century slavery-based Brazilian society to consider more deeply the prospect of putting an end to the transatlantic slave trade / Mestrado / Historia Social / Mestre em História

This dissertation explores and analyzes anti-imperial sentiments in Britain throughout the long eighteenth century. During this period of major British state formation and imperial expansion, there were a surprisingly large number of observers who voiced notable and varied concerns and opposition towards numerous overseas ventures, yet who have not since received significant attention within the historical record. Indeed, many critics of British imperialism and empire-building, from within Britain itself, formed extensive and thoughtful assessments of their own nation’s conduct in the world. Criticism ranged widely, from those who opposed the high economic costs of imperial expansion to those worried that a divine retribution would rain down upon Britain for injustices committed by Britons abroad. Such diversity of anti-imperial perspectives came from a clearly enlightened minority, whose limited influences upon broader public opinions had little effect on policies at the time. Successive British administrations and self-interested Britons who sought their fortunes and adventures abroad, often with little regard for the damage inflicted on those whom they encountered, won the political debate over empire-building. However, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the perspectives of many of these individuals would increasingly become highly regarded. Later generations of reformers, particularly “Little Englanders”, or classical liberals and radicals, would look back reverently to these critics to draw inspiration for refashioning the empire and Britain’s position in the world. These eighteenth century ideas continued to present powerful counter-arguments to the trends then in place and served to inspire those, in the centuries that followed, who sought to break the heavy chains of often despotic colonial rule and mitigate the ravages of war and conquest.

This dissertation is a comparative analysis of the uses of tropes of marginality in American, Caribbean, British, and African fiction that engages with the aftermaths of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery. This study begins by exploring the utility of the frame of Paul Gilroy's concept of the "black Atlantic" as a heuristic model for understanding encounters with slavery and the slave trade as phases of an emerging capitalist modernity. I suggest that, within this heuristic framework, marginality is always variable, contingent and changing. Several positions of marginality might even emerge in conflict with each other, since the ideological deployments of slavery in the U.S., the Caribbean, and in African countries are not always in concert. In fact, it is through the study of conflicts and tensions between such seemingly unified marginalities that their differences become discernible. As a result, the common theme in the texts I examine is the need to create communities of listeners who can discern the transformations of the colonising moment in the disparate sites of the diaspora. The practice of listening is a step in apprehending the forms of marginalisation and occlusions of the violence of colonisation that continue at different sites. In the five chapters of this dissertation, I read stories by Edgar Allan Poe and Herman Melville, and novels by Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Caryl Phillips, Maryse Conde, Joseph Conrad, Ayi Kwei Armah, Amos Tutuola, Yaw Boateng, and Syl Cheney- Coker. I focus, particularly, on the use of animals, spatial boundaries, literacy, orality, and tropes of listening in the selected texts. I show that these authors use the opposition of visual and aural metaphors to draw attention to the limits of their characters' knowledge in order to highlight the situatedness of each character in processes of marginalisation that continue to unfold. Further, as much as these narratives excavate the afterlives of slavery, they are also engaged in the task of differentiating them in order to identify the necessary site-specific tasks of reparation or repair. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

Thesis advisor: Robin Fleming / This dissertation charts the movement of slaves from Western Europe, through Scandinavia, and into the frontiers of the Caliphate, a movement which took shape in the early 700s and flourished into the late 800s. The victims of this movement are well attested in texts from either end of their journey, and the movement of everyday things allows us to trace the itineraries they followed. Necklace beads—produced in the east, carried to the north, and worn in the west—serve as proxies for human traffic that traveled the same routes in opposite directions. Attention to this traffic overcomes four impasses—between regional particularism and interregional connectivity; between attention to exchange and focus on production; between privileging textual or material evidence; and between definitions of slavery that obscure practices of enslavement. The introduction outlines problems of studying medieval slavery with regard to transregional approaches to the Middle Ages, the transition to serfdom, and the use of material evidence. Chapter One gathers narrative texts previously dealt with anecdotally to establish patterns for the Viking-Age slave trade, with eastward traffic thriving by the late 800s. Chapter Two confirms these patterns by graphically comparing viking violence to reports of captive taking in the annals and archival documents of Ireland, Francia, and Anglo-Saxon England. Chapter Three investigates how viking captive taking impacted Western societies and the creation of written records in Carolingian Europe. Chapter Four turns to the material record, using beads to trace the intensity and flow of human traffic that fed from early viking violence. Chapter Five establishes a corresponding demand for slaves in the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate through Arabic archival, legal, historical, and geographic texts. The conclusion places this research in the context of global history. By spanning periods, regions, and disciplines, this dissertation brings to focus people who crossed boundaries unwillingly, but whose movements contributed to epochal change. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2019. / Submitted to: Boston College.
