Product Review
"Bergad not only has constructed the first time-series set of empirical data, but he employs it to analyze the nature of Slavery in Minas in the context of the historical debate." Robert M. Levine, History "[This book] analyzes the demographic and economic development of Slavery in Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on information from more than 10,000 property inventories of the estates of the recently deceased, which were assessed for the purposes of division among heirs." Journal of Economic Literature "If some of Dr. Bergad's principal arguments are, in sum, debatable, this conclusion should not deny this book a wide appreciation for the valuable insights it offers and systematic data it contains." Luso-Brazilian Review "Dr. Bergad's study makes a sucessful attempt at understanding the history of Minas Gerais during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by way of its economic and demographic history." South Eastern Latin Americanist vol xliv #3 "This is an ambitious volume focusing on the largest of Brazil's eighteenth and nineteenth-century regional slave systemthe book has two important merits: it makes recent findings on a major slave economy available in a well-written English text; and it emphasizes the importance of market forces in determining historical tendenciesBergad has undoubtedly made a substantial contribution to our understanding of price fluctuations and of age and gender distributions." American Historical Review Feb 2002
