Description: "Uses the sermons of Antônio Vieira to address the question of slavery and Christian equality. Credits Vieira with taking a discussion of the injustices of slavery to the Portuguese court; but, convinced that slavery was essential for the success of Portuguese Brazil, Vieira could not promote the ultimate end of the institution"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
