Portuguese and Brazilian slave-traders shipped at least four million slaves to Brazil—in contrast to the five hundred thousand slaves that English vessels brought to the Americas. Controlling the vast number of slaves in Brazil became of primary importance.
R. S. Rose, an American, took his doctorate from the University of Stockholm. He teaches criminology and criminal justice at Northern Arizona University, Yuma. His books include Johnny; One of the Forgotten Things: Getúlio Vargas and Brazilian Social Control, 1930–1954; and Beyond the Pale of Pity: Key Episodes of Elite Violence in Brazil to 1930.
“R. S. Rose’s series of volumes about what Robert Levine called
‘the dark side of Brazilian History’ makes fascinating reading and
is based on consultations of such a wide range of sources that he
has become a leader of research in his field.”
“I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in Latin
American studies, history, or criminology.”
