Lançamentos do livro do projeto Querino em São Luís e Salvador!
Na semana que vem, finalmente faremos as conversas de lançamento do livro do projeto Querino nas capitais do Maranhão e da Bahia.
Estará em alguma delas? Tem amigos e família lá? Ajude a espalhar a palavra!
Really useful thread. On this latter point, worth flagging that British anti-slavery also accommodated (and in some cases legitimised) continued entanglement with global slavery long after 1833-38. For half a century in the case of Brazil: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
1/5 Two questions around slavery & its legacies that I’m asked quite frequently, with short answers & links for more detail:
Q1: Which was “worse”, European trans-Atlantic or “Islamic” slavery?
Read about how British companies profited from slavery in Brazil longer after abolition, from our @durhamhistory.bsky.social Honorary Fellow Joe Mulhern, in @theguardian.com.

‘These connections are overlooked’: how British companies profited from slavery in Brazil long after abolition
And here's a link to that episode in case you missed it at the time: www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...
A couple of years after we featured on the same episode of the Guardian's Cotton Capital podcast, I had the pleasure to speak to @tiagorogero.com about my book on British Entanglement with Brazilian Slavery (@anthempress.bsky.social, Feb. 26)
Gratidão. Boa leitura!

Many thanks! Being able to maintain a link to the excellent research community at @durham.ac.uk @durhamhistory.bsky.social was so important as my career took a different path.
Hoping to get back sooner rather than later to discuss the book and catch up with old friends!
You can now access the letters in a digital collection for free on @theul.bsky.social Cambridge Digital Library cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/...
As someone no longer in full-time research, I wasn't sure I'd get this over the line, but here it is!
This is my modest effort to (re)write Brazil into the history of Britain's involvement with transatlantic slavery.
Too many people to thank here but you know who you are!
Boa leitura, gente.

Coming soon from @livunipress.bsky.social A wild ride from Cuba to the Cape Colony and Civil War Kentucky. The moral of the story? Although C19 Britons thought their model of emancipation was exceptional, it was anything but #Cuba #AmericanCivilWar #slavery #emancipation #SouthAfrica

É essencial para o Brasil conhecer o seu passado
The Ibicaba archive project team probably know him anyway, but he's called José Eduardo Heflinger. I need to be in touch about sending him a copy of my book (he supplied some images) so can send him your article.
Probably not overly helpful as it was some time ago now, but there's a guy in Limeira, SP who had a lot of 19th century material from the surrounding area. I think a lot of it was judicial records that he'd saved from being thrown out but I think he had some private material from fazendas.
Texto sobre nosso projeto com o Modern Endangered Archives Program/UCLA. Ajudem na divulgação, precisamos ter uma base Parker-Gallman para o Brasil!
