Abstract

Abstract This article analyzes slave resistance, capital crimes, and state violence in the Mississippi Valley and the Paraíba Valley – two of the most dynamic plantation economies of the nineteenth century. The research focused on the intersection between slavery and criminal law in Brazil and the United States. The analysis of capital crimes committed by enslaved people in Natchez and Vassouras revealed changing patterns of resistance and judicial punishment through the decades. This investigation demonstrated that local experiences of violence on plantations and in courtrooms were connected to the dynamics of national politics and the world economy. Moreover, this comparative study illuminated differences between these racialized slave societies and their political systems and revealed the essence of distinct regimes of racial violence in the Americas.

惩罚的政治经济学:19世纪巴西和美国的奴隶制和暴力
本文分析了19世纪最具活力的两个种植园经济——密西西比河谷和Paraíba河谷——的奴隶反抗、死刑犯罪和州暴力。这项研究的重点是巴西和美国的奴隶制和刑法之间的交集。对纳齐兹和瓦苏拉斯被奴役者犯下的死刑罪行的分析揭示了几十年来反抗和司法惩罚模式的变化。这项调查表明,当地对种植园和法庭的暴力经历与国家政治和世界经济的动态有关。此外,这一比较研究阐明了这些种族化的奴隶社会及其政治制度之间的差异,揭示了美洲不同种族暴力制度的本质。
