Abstract

"Uses approximately 400 wills of female freed slaves to provide insight into 18th-century Minas Gerais society. Sees evidence of resistance to enslavement through the adoption of some the practices of the master class, which ultimately allowed slaves to gain freedom, and thus tempered the inherent violence of slavery"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58
