An excellent scholarly history of the largest urban slave revolt in the Americas. This academic book is thematic and analytical, but there is also great background on Bahian history, the physical layout of Salvador in 1835, and the fascinating layers of slave society and culture in Brazil. Reis, an important Brazilian historian, writes in concise, jargon-free prose. Translated by Arthur Brakel.
