First published: 1996
Description: "What happened to slaves after abolition? Work attempts to look beyond stereotypes of ex-slaves as marginalized victims to an examination of how they made their lives and constituted their families, how they 'constructed' and 'were constructed' by history. There were tremendous variations in the Campinas area. Based on laborious reconstruction of life histories of slaves, ex-slaves, and masters from a wide range of sources"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
