Brazilian slave-control ideology developed unaware of maroon history

Evidence

Inevitably, in response to this vastly augmented slave population, by the early nineteenth century Brazilian planters and settlers had achieved an appropriate “sociology” of slave control. And though it appeared to develop in an almost total ignorance of the country’s maroon history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and of the political exigencies that molded the particularities of the slave trade to the world economy (that is, the varying accesses to reservoirs of African labor), at some level we must presume it took them into account if only in a mystified fashion. — Cedric J.
