Pedrosa Costa, R: Paternalism, Transgression and Slave Resis

In this book, the reader will come across one of the lesser known sides of slavery, marked by a highly institutionalized Paternalism, which imposed a sense of family, obedience and punishment on slaves, who were immersed into a religious and castrating morality ideology. Monks became large slaveholders and had to learn to deal with the stubborn resistance of those who refused to peacefully surrender their bodies and minds.
