Brazilian Slavery is a topic not too often discussed in the English language, however it was an peculiarly brutal institution due the close proximity to Africa which allowed for slaves to be replaced more quickly. Therefore it was more cost efficient to work a slave to death and buy a new one than worry about keeping what you have alive past the years harvest in may cases.
This is an eye opening look at a rebel slave colony (Mocambo / Quilombo) trying to survive in the rainforest of Brazil and well worth a read to anyone interested in a look at this harsh period in central american history.
Great supplemental reading would be "Children Of Gods Fire".
