Book Reviews of Slave Rebellion in Brazil: The Muslim Uprising of 1835 in Bahia (Johns Hopkins Studies in Atlantic History and Culture)
Book Review: An important book in the history of Islam, Africa and the Americas
Summary: 4 Stars
An important book and a rare one in that it explains the history of a slave revolt in Brazil in which Islam played a prominent role. The author goes into detail concerning the conditions that slaves (and freedmen) lived in Brazil, how then interacted with one another and how they maintained their culture in extream circumstances.
It is interesing in that the actual revolt itself is given considerably less space in the book but the supression of the revolt and the effects that it had on Africans in Brazil is discussed in detail.
An interesing read especially in that it sheads some light on African culture in the Americas and how Africans maintained their culture there and also the efforts that white slave owners and the white population in general made in supressing that culture.
