Slavery and the Demographic and Economic History of Minas Gerais, Brazil, 1720-1888 - Bergad, Laird W. (Lehman College, City University of New York)

This 2000 book examines the history of slavery in Minas Gerais, the single largest slave-holding region in Brazil. Its ability to diversify economically as well as its growth through natural reproduction, rather than through importation via the trans-atlantic slave trade indicate the unique character of this slave community.
