O local eleito para esta investigação foi a freguesia de São Bom Jesus dos Mártires de Pouso Alegre, localidade sul-mineira, estrategicamente situada numa região de rotas de tropas e de dinâmica inserção na rede Centro-sul de abastecimento interno ao Rio de Janeiro nos Oitocentos. O método utilizado efetuou-se em duas etapas: Na primeira, buscamos por meio da mensuração de dados, apreendermos elementos antecedentes às incursões da família escrava entre a população negra, tais como: distribuição de grupos em diferentes categorias, definidas pelo critério de condição social (livres/ escravos/libertos); origem: (crioulos/ africanos); cor (pretos/ pardos); composição de sexo e idade. Na segunda etapa, efetuamos quantificações concernentes à composição da família escrava, propriamente dita. Procuramos visualizar pela freqüência de legitimidade entre os ―filhos inocentes‖ de escravos indicada pelos assentos batismais, entrecruzados aos mapas de população (1833-1835) e assentos de casamentos, a importância destas uniões oficialmente sancionadas para os escravos. Apreendemos deste resultado, uma alta incidência de uniões legítimas entre a população escrava no contexto social da Freguesia e Município de Pouso Alegre., até o presente, pouco identificada para o contexto da província de Minas. No que concerne aos ―padrões de escolhas‖ efetuados entre os cônjuges cativos nestas uniões, constatamos o predomínio exogâmico por origem, ou seja, aquelas efetuadas entre pares africanos e crioulos, o que postulamos ser uma derivação resultante entre a conjugação do tráfico e crescimento natural da população escrava nesta especificidade Sul-mineira. Procuramos trabalhar, neste segundo momento, as redes de sociabilidades escravas –consangüíneas e rituais, através de análises quantitativas e longitudinais de propriedades eleitas. / We undertook this work, through the interweaving of documents such as censuses (population maps and lists of named), along the set of parish registers (baptisms and marriages seats) and processes of postmortem inventories, the effort to advance the discussion of slave family, especially for regions that have dedicated themselves to the domestic supply. The site chosen for this research was the parish of Bom Jesus dos Martires de Pouso Alegre, south-mining town, strategically located in a region of routes of troops and dynamic integration in Central-south network of domestic supply to Rio de Janeiro in the nineteenth century . The method used was effected in two steps: First, we search through the measurement of data, apprehend evidence of family history to the slave raiding among the black population, such as group distribution in different categories defined by the criterion of social status (free / slave / freed) Source: (Creole / African), color (black / brown), sex and age composition. In the second step, we performed measurements concerning the composition of the slave family, itself. We seek to visualize the frequency of legitimacy among the "innocent children" slave indicated by the baptismal seats, crossed to the maps of population (1833-1835) and seats of marriages, the importance of these officially sanctioned marriages for slaves. Apprehend this result, a high incidence of marriages between the legitimate slave population on the social context of Town and City of Happy Landing., To date, little identified for the context of the Province of Minas. With respect to "patterns of choices" made between the spouses in these marriages captives, we note the predominance exogamic by origin, ie those made between pairs Africans and Creoles, which postulate be a derivative resulting from the combination of traffic and natural growth specificity of the slave population in this South-mining. We seek to work in this second phase, the networks of sociability slave-consanguineous and rituals, through analysis of quantitative and longitudinal properties elected.

O Brasil foi escolhido por possuir os fatores de produção caros à plantation escravista sulista: terras e escravos. Realizamos uma análise dos discursos e as ações políticas de muitos imigrantes e de seus familiares no período anterior à guerra, que tendiam a um tom fortemente conservador, pró-escravidão. Finda a guerra, estabeleceram-se colônias, cujos destinos estiveram associados às dificuldades dos imigrantes restabelecerem a ligação que possuíam com o circuito mercantil-escravista, agora no hemisfério meridional. Os imigrantes que o conseguiram, por certo período, foram aqueles localizados em Santa Bárbara, na região de Campinas. Nas colônias de Santarém e Linhares, a ausência de um circuito mercantil-escravista suficientemente pujante ocasionou uma maior dispersão dos imigrantes, bem como a existência de casamentos exogâmicos. A despeito de tais dificuldades, a presença da escravidão foi notada nas colônias de ambas as localidades. De acordo com as fontes primárias, o discurso de que a imigração trouxe a modernização dos meios de produção não se sustenta. O que se verifica é uma adequação às técnicas tradicionais da agricultura brasileira, bem como a vinculação a relações de produção resistentes à introdução de inovações / Abstract: The objective of this study is to understand the reasons for which thousands of southerners emigrated from USA to Brazil at the end of the American Civil War, as an answer to the suppression of their political rights and the end of slavery. We argue that the main factor for the choice of Brazil as their destiny included the existence of slavery, and the abundant land. We analyzed their political actions and speeches before the war, which had a tendency of a conservative and pro-slavery tone. After the war, they established colonies, which destinies were associated to the difficulties of the immigrants to plug themselves again to a slave-market circuit, now at the southern hemisphere. The immigrants that were successful, for a certain period, were those living in Santa Bárbara, near Campinas. In Santarém and Linhares colonies, the inexistence of a strong slave-market circuit lead to the dispersion of the immigrants, as well as exogamic marriages. Despite the difficulties, both colonies had the presence of slavery. According to primary sources, the idea that the confederate immigration brought the means of production modernization does not sustain itself. What is verified is an adaptation to Brazilian agriculture traditional techniques and their involvement with relations of production resistant to innovation introduction / Doutorado / Historia Economica / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico

Ao mesmo tempo, intentamos analisar a relação entre as convulsões e alianças políticas formadas no Velho Mundo e seus reflexos no andamento das políticas de domínio e soberania nas Conquistas americanas. Para tal, pretendemos observar os efeitos destas leis, de caráter internacional, no continente americano; seja no processo demarcatório em si, seja na contenção do comércio ilegal e das fugas escravas. Deste modo, pensamos em demonstrar que um conjunto de práticas e mecanismos viabilizou a continuidade do contrabando entre lusos e hispânicos na fronteira platina e que, embora a escravidão tenha fundamental importância na América espanhola, na fronteira sul os conflitos militares em torno da posse da Colônia do Sacramento levaram a uma construção da ideia de liberdade no além – fronteira. / The aims of this dissertation is to analyze the porosity of borders, specifically the South America, the light of the treaties signed between the limits of crowns of Portugal and Spain in thesecond half of the eighteenth century. At the same time, intend to analyze the relationship between convulsions and political alliances formed in the Old World and its impact on the progress of political domain and sovereignty in American Achievements. To this end, we intend to observe the effects of these laws, international in character, the Americas, the demarcation process is itself, in restraint of trade is illegal and trails slaves. Thus, we demonstrate that in a set practices and mechanisms enabled the continuity of smuggling between Hispanic and Luso platinum border and that although slavery has fundamental importance in Spanish America, the southern border military conflicts over the ownership of the Colony Sacramento led to the construction of the idea of freedom beyond – border.

Dans cette recherche historique sur l’affranchissement des esclaves dans l’Est dominicain, nous avons tenté de reconnaître la nature et la force sociale de cette pratique juridique, ce qui nous a permis, nous l’espérons, de parvenir à une compréhension plus large de l'esclavage, non seulement dans l’Est dominicain entre le XVIIIe et le début du XIXe siècle, mais également dans l'Amérique coloniale espagnole dans son ensemble.Nous sommes partis du postulat selon lequel nous nous trouvons face à un phénomène social total comme l'ont établi Marcel Mauss et Georges Gurvitch. Grâce à cette méthode, nous avons pu voir les causes et les effets sociaux de l'affranchissement au sens large, comme la réaction de l'opinion populaire, l'adaptation des mœurs, les impacts économiques, l'efficacité et inefficacité des lois, etc.En ce sens, l’étude des documents juridiques s’est relevée importante en raison du rôle qu’ils ont joué dans la structuration de la société. À travers les facteurs sociaux en jeu dans les processus d’affranchissement, nous avons tenté de situer les circonstances qui les ont produits. Par exemple, pour un affranchissement, acte individuel par excellence dans le régime colonial, nous nous sommes demandé à quelle classe sociale appartenait le maître, quelle était la conjoncture économique, etc. C'est pourquoi nous avons essayé d'approfondir ce phénomène du point de vue historique afin de comprendre les modèles d'affranchissement dominants (gratuits ou payants, conditionnés ou sans conditions) ainsi que le profil démographique des affranchis (genre, origine, âge, etc.).Les affranchissements sont des documents juridiques d'une nature particulière dans le répertoire des décisions judiciaires. Leur analyse est susceptible d'être quantifiée mais il est évident que les affranchissements analysés ne représentent pas une série exhaustive car ce ne sont que des traces d’un phénomène dont nous ne mesurons pas l’ampleur exacte. Cependant, au-delà de la multiplicité des cas analysés, ce qui importe le plus sont les détails qu'ils nous offrent. Ainsi, cette thèse présente une étude historico-juridique de l'affranchissement dans l’Est dominicain dès la fin du XVIIe siècle à l’abolition de l’esclavage. / In this historical research about the emancipation of slaves in the East Dominican, we attempted to identify the nature and the social force of this legal practice, which has allowed us, at least we hope, to reach a broad understanding on slavery not only in the eastern Dominican between the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, but also in the entire Spanish Latin-American colonial empire. We started with the premise that we are facing a total social phenomenon as established by Mauss and Gurvitch. With this method, we could see the causes and effects of social emancipation in the broadest sense, as the reaction of public opinion, the adaptation of morals, economic impacts, effectiveness and ineffectiveness of laws, etc. In this sense, the study of legal documents has raised important because of their role in the structuring of society. Through social factors involved in them in the process of emancipation, we tried to locate in the documents, the circumstances that produced them. For example, for an emancipation, act by excellence individual in the colonial regime, we asked what was the social class in which belonged the master? What was the economic situation? Etc. That is why we have tried to explore this phenomenon from a historical point of view to understand the dominant models postage (free or paid, put or without conditions) as well as the demographic profile of freedmen (gender, origin, age, etc.). The manumissions are legal documents of a special nature in the directory of judicial decisions. Their analysis is likely to be quantified, but it is clear that the manumissions analyzed do not represent an exhaustive series because they are only traces of a phenomenon that we do not have the exact size. However, beyond the multiplicity of cases analyzed, what matters most are the details they offer us. Thus, this thesis presents a historical-legal study of manumissions in the eastern Dominican Republic in the late seventeenth century until the abolition of slavery.

When observing the values which repeatedly appear in early American literature, we encounter ideas such as liberty, freedom, or the importance of the individual, but while property and ownership are often also core ideas and motivations for many Americans, their appearance is much more limited and excluded from certain contexts. However, property was always a key issue and economic profitability was always considered as foremost both on political and individual level. This can be seen all throughout American history since its beginning until the present, yet there is the curious trend of downplaying the importance of property in politically oriented text. While no one questioned its value in the past, Americans outwardly replaced property with liberty. Nevertheless, its importance cannot be hidden so easily and through careful examination it is shown as being understood as a pre-requisite of freedom and security, even as it is never the central focus of any major early American political text. This thesis explores the concept of property in the context of early American political writing in the area between eighteenth and nineteenth century; drawing from texts such as the Declaration of Independence, The Federalist, The Anti-Federalist Papers, Common Sense and other contemporary political pamphlets...

This is a case study on human trafficking that was conducted on the small Central American country of Costa Rica via a mixed-methods approach which included document review, surveys, and interviews. It was selected due to Costa Rica’s history of fluctuation between Tier 2 and Tier 2 Watch List status on the Trafficking in Persons Report, issued by the U.S. Department of State, over the last ten years. This ranking average indicates that it is one of the worst performing Central American states in efforts to combat trafficking in persons. This finding breaks with Costa Rica’s traditional placement as one of the best performing Central American countries by other indices, such as GDP, Human Development Index (HDI), World Happiness Report, and Corruption Perception Index (CPI), to name a few. The purpose of this research was to explore the reasons why Costa Rica leads Central America in numerous international measurements of success, yet remains equal to or below other Central American countries in its fight to combat human trafficking. There were two hypotheses. First, Costa Rica has strong economic ties to and reliance on tourism. According to data collected for this study, tourism has become Costa Rica’s primary means of “development,” which has created a neocolonial-style enclave economy and society which responds heavily to the demands of the tourists. This reliance on tourism is associated with choices made by government officials for inaction. Second, low levels of prosecutions and convictions are due to the state’s reliance on NGOs to shoulder the responsibility of efforts. The government even pays the NGOs to care for rescued children to alleviate any burden placed on its own agencies. NGOs operating in Costa Rica run shelters and rehabilitate survivors, head awareness campaigns, and educate. Along with the United Nations, and other IGOs, NGOs have been the main force against trafficking in persons in Costa Rica. Other findings included issues with the definition of human trafficking under the law, as it is not in alignment with those of the United Nations and the United States. As well, the limited awareness across the country, both for professionals and citizens, is a concern. Poverty, particularly increases in extreme poverty, was cited as a recurring problem by the stakeholders interviewed. Furthermore, the image of the country as exceptional was reported by many interviewees as a barrier to recognizing the relevant issues and combatting them. Finally, the persistent culture of machismo and a political and social culture in turmoil were found to be detrimental to combatting human trafficking, particularly when dealing with gendered crimes, prostitution, and the feminization of poverty and of the marginalization of women and children. This study has synthesized the data and shows support for a correlation between the aforementioned factors, tying human trafficking to the tourist industry, to political inaction, to NGOs and their activities and responsibilities, as well as to political and social culture and a number of other factors. Prosecutions and convictions remain low, and efforts to fight modern-day slavery remain below the minimum standards. Thus, it is the implication of this study that the notion of Costa Rica as exceptional, as a leader across Central America, is more an image than reality, at least in this case. In reality, Costa Rica is caught between opposing political and social cultures, between Western capitalism, classic machismo, and Costa Rica’s historical notion of peaceful living and exceptionality.

U.S. Senator David Levy Yulee’s Margarita sugar plantation flourished from 1851 to 1864 in Homosassa, Citrus County, Florida. The plantation was abandoned in 1864 and memory of its precise location slowly faded, as the physical evidence of its existence deteriorated. Today, the only plantation structure known to be still standing is the sugar mill, preserved as part of the Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park (CI124B). The remainder of the plantation, including its boundaries, remains unknown. Perhaps at least partly owing to this absence, the mill’s interpretive signage provides an unfortunate univocal historical interpretation of the site and lacking in both acknowledgement and understanding of the experiences of the enslaved laborers who lived at Margarita. This thesis research uses archaeological reconnaissance survey and historical research in an attempt to locate the slave quarters in order to shed light on the power structures that existed between planter and enslaved laborer at Margarita. Shovel tests on state, county, and private land surrounding the mill identified two new archaeological sites, including possible remnants of an additional plantation structure, and ruled out for several locations as the site of the former slave quarters. Historical research uncovered additional information about the names of the enslaved laborers and provided more insight into their experiences on the plantation. This work culminates with suggestions for updated State Park interpretive signage, and suggestions for future work.

1 COMPARISON OF CERTAIN ASPECTS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF SLAVERY AND ITS ABOLITION IN THE USA AND IN GREAT BRITAIN Resumé This thesis deals with legal regulation of slavery in Great Britain and the United states of America and also with its abolition. The first part of the thesis is theoretical. At the beginning, it describes the concepts of "slavery", "slave society" and "abolition". This is followed by the brief history of slavery, from the ancient society, through the Middle Ages, to slavery in North America. The end of this chapter briefly discusses the legal aspects of slavery in general, and the influence of the Enlightenment and Christianity on the perception of slavery. The second part focuses on situation in various geographic regions and some legal phenomena relating to slavery. The regions covered include England, specific for fact that slavery was abandoned there as early as in the 12th century and has never had any legislative background, together with India and the Caribbean as two examples of the opposite ends of the spectrum - while in the Caribbean slavery still constitutes a determining social element, in India the effects of slavery are surprisingly "negligible". The next section deals with other Britain's colonies and the characteristics of North American continent, and situation in the...

The problems of forced labour and degrading work persist within modern sectors of contemporary economies. This presents both a practical and a theoretical challenge, as reflected in the literature on new slavery and on unfree labour. Analysis of the production networks within which forced labour and degrading work are found, however, has yet to form a central theme within these bodies of literature. This thesis contributes to filling the above-mentioned gap in the literature by exploring the role of the labour dynamics of production networks in two cases of 'slave labour' in Brazil. The first case involves internal migrant workers in sugar cane while the second case involves cross-border migrants in garment workshops. The thesis addresses the question of whether, and how, the labour dynamics of production networks contribute to 'slave labour' and degrading work in the Brazilian sugar cane and garment sectors. The analysis is a cross-disciplinary one, rooted in development studies but also drawing on economic geography, sociology and economics. A case study method is used, relying principally on archival sources, a focus group and semi-stuctured interviews. Drawing on and developing the Global Production Network (GPN) framework, dynamics of production networks are conceived of as sets of power relations which structure the constraints and opportunities for the various actors who negotiate within them. These interlocking sets of relations include, among others: relations between workers, producers, suppliers, buyers, market intermediaries, civil society groups and the state. The labour dynamics of production networks are the subset of these dynamics involving or impacting relations between workers and employers and thereby structuring conditions of employment. Conditions of employment for migrant workers are examined in each case to show how these constitute 'slave labour.' Degrading conditions and restricted freedoms are found to exist to different degrees and along a number of dimensions. At the extreme, these conditions are labelled 'slave labour' in Brazil. It is argued that 'slave labour' in these cases is therefore a symptom of a wider problem of degrading work. The labour dynamics of production networks are analysed to reveal how producers at labour-intensive stages of production in both cases face increased levels of competition, and their strategies in response to these pressures intersect with the strategies of migrant workers and labour market intermediaries to produce outcomes of 'slave labour' and degrading work. Race, gender and migration status play a complex role in creating categories of workers vulnerable to degrading work and 'slave labour,' drawing attention to the way that production is necessarily embedded in particular socio-economic contexts. The analysis highlights the importance of accounting for and intervening in production networks within efforts to address 'slave labour' and degrading work.

This dissertation is a comparative analysis of the yeomanry of Forsyth and Hancock counties in Georgia during the ten years prior to the Civil War. The premise argues that definitive characteristics of yeoman culture can only be found in counties that are dominated the yeomanry. Studies that find yeomen in planter dominated counties are defined those yeomen by the institutions that are created by and serve the planter society.
