First, consider the following: What did slave agency look like? Was it only violent? NO! Examples include…the more visible & physical – e.g. riots, trying to escape, refusing to work – to the more quiet and hidden – e.g. practicing Voodoo, drinking wine (& saying the bottles had leaked), etc. Slave Agency = when slaves fought back; when they committed various acts to empower themselves against their masters – even in a quiet way.

Reading #23: “Plantation Society in the Antebellum South” Thesis? Slaves survived by asserting themselves & negotiating with their masters to create their own distinctive culture within the oppressive system of slavery. Methods of slave masters? Examples of slave agency?

Reading #24: “Preface & Part I: Of the Willing and the Obedient” Thesis? Slaves worked through accommodation and resistance – within the constraints of the white paternalistic system – to create a unique culture that was livable for themselves & their children. Methods of slave masters? Examples of slave agency?

Examples of slave agency?

Reading #26: “A Hell For Blacks: Slavery in Rural Brazil” Thesis? Slaves suffered terribly at the hands of Brazilian slave owners, who were only concerned with short-term concerns and profit. Methods of slave masters? Examples of slave agency?
