Slavery and the Economy of São Paulo, 1750-1850

by Francisco Vidal Luna and Herbert S. Klein

Book Overview

Today the Brazilian state of S o Paulo is one of the world's most advanced agricultural, industrial, and urbanized regions. Its historical evolution, however, is poorly understood. Most scholarly attention has been paid to the period after 1850, when coffee rose to economic dominance, or to the period since 1880, when large-scale European immigration turned the city of S o Paulo into one of the largest metropolises in the world.
