Blacks of the Land

Originally published in Portuguese in 1994 as Negros da Terra , this field-defining work by the late historian John M. Monteiro has been translated into English by Professors James Woodard and Barbara Weinstein. Monteiros work established ethnohistory as a field in colonial Brazilian studies and made indigenous history a vital part of how scholars understand Brazils colonial past. Drawing on over two dozen collections on both sides of the Atlantic, Monteiro rescued Indians from invisibility, documenting their roles as both objects and actors in Brazils colonial past and, most importantly, providing the first history of Indian slavery in Brazil. Monteiro demonstrates how Indian enslavement, not exploration or the search for mineral wealth, was the driving force behind expansion out of So Paulo and through the South American backcountry. This book makes a groundbreaking contribution not only to Latin American history, but to the history of indigenous slavery in the Americas generally.

John M. Monteiro was a professor in the department of anthropology of the Universidade Estadual de Campinas and the director of the same universitys Instituto de Filosofia e Cincias Humanas. He also held visiting positions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Michigan, and Harvard University.

James Woodard is Professor of History at Montclair State University. He is the author of A Place in Politics: So Paulo, Brazil, from Seigneurial Republicanism to Regionalist Revolt (2009).

Barbara Weinstein is Silver Professor of History at New York University and Past President of the American Historical Association. She is the author of The Color of Modernity: So Paulo and the Making of Race and Nation in Brazil (2015), For Social Peace in Brazil: Industrialists and the Remaking of the Working Class in So Paulo, 19201964 (1996), and The Amazon Rubber Boom, 18501920 (1983).

Foreword
James Woodard

Beginning in the 1490s in the Caribbean, and through the slow demise of native slavery in North and South America over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, millions of Amerindians were subjected to enslavement, captivity, and forced labor. Indian slavery was practiced across the Americas, at one point in time or another, in jurisdictions claimed by every European power that engaged in New World colonialism. Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, English, Scottish, French, and Russian colonists held native Americans as slaves, exerting their mastery over them and dealing in them as chattel. In parts of the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, native slavery survived the ending of European colonial claims and the formation of independent nation-states, lasting well into the nineteenth century. By that point, however, the numbers of Amerindians held as slaves in Brazil and the United States were tiny compared to the masses of African and Afro-American captives that made up the absolute majority of the populations of the two countries plantation zones. Indian slavery thus seemed a small thing economically, socially, demographically when set alongside African and Afro-American slavery, on the ascent through the first half of the new century in Brazil and the southern United States alike.
