Description: Emancipatory Narratives & Enslaved Motherhood examines three major currents in the historiography of Brazilian slavery: manumission, miscegenation, and creolisation. It revisits themes central to the history of slavery and race relations in Brazil, updates the research about them, and revises interpretations of the role of reproduction and gender within them.
Review Quotes:
'The book's format, with four distinct sections with introductions and conclusions, makes it ex‐ ceptionally suited for an undergraduate syllabus, as an entire section can be assigned as if it were its own distinct, short monograph. Beyond its use in the classroom, scholars of slavery across the Americas will find Emancipatory Narratives re‐ quired reading, as the text speaks to, in sustained and important ways, historiographies far beyond gender and slavery in Brazil.' Cassia Roth, University of Georgia
