Sinopse

Considered one of the most important works of Brazilian sociology of the 20th century, Capitalism and Slavery in Southern Brazil presents an analysis of the processes of constitution and disintegration of the slave society of Rio Grande do Sul, seen from the social situation that black people assumed within it.

In this book, which was his doctoral thesis, Fernando Henrique Cardoso presents a dialectical approach to the formation of slave society in Rio Grande do Sul and its transformation, supported by an extensive body of empirical data found in censuses, contemporary newspapers, official reports, and travelers' accounts. By demonstrating that the structural patterns that constituted this type of society, as well as its dynamics, are the result of a set of human actions and relationships developed under concrete historical and social conditions, the author reconstructs the concrete social totality that resulted from the interaction between masters and slaves in Rio Grande do Sul society.

Originally published in 1962, this book is the result of a research program on slave society and Black people in the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, coordinated between 1955 and 1960 by Florestan Fernandes, a pioneer of the "São Paulo School of Sociology." During these five years, Fernando Henrique Cardoso dedicated himself to collecting data and studying the social situation of Black people in southern Brazil with the aim of expanding sociological knowledge about racial prejudice in the country.
