Description: "Part of a larger project on late-19th-century slave and liberto resistance in Pelotas (Rio Grande do Sul). Newspaper evidence shows cultural resistance in areas such as religion and carnival and in leisure activities such as reviras (dances), card games, and amorous encounters - in effect, the author argues, 'counterfeit liberty.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
