    Chica da Silva: A Brazilian Slave of the Eighteenth Century

    Chica da Silva: A Brazilian Slave of the Eighteenth Century (New Approaches to the Americas) by Júnia Ferreira Furtado
    English | December 8, 2008 | ISBN: 0521884659, 052171155X | True EPUB | 348 pages | 17.6 MB

    Júnia Ferreira Furtado offers a fascinating study of the world of a freed woman of color in a small Brazilian town where itinerant merchants, former slaves, Portuguese administrators, and concubines interact across social and cultural lines. The child of an African slave from the Costa da Mina and a Brazilian military nobleman of Portuguese descent, Chica da Silva won her freedom using social and matrimonial strategies.

    But the story of Chica da Silva is not merely the personal history of a woman, or the social history of a colonial Brazilian town. Rather, it provides a historical perspective on a woman’s agency, the cultural universe she inhabited, and the myths that were created around her in subsequent centuries, as Chica de Silva came to symbolize both an example of racial democracy and the stereotype of licentiousness and sensuality always attributed to the black or mulatta female in the Brazilian popular imagination.
