Product Information
A finalist for the Brazilian Book Award and winner of the Casa de las América Prize for Brazilian Literature, The Story of Rufino: Slavery, Freedom, and Islam in the Black Atlantic reconstructs the lively biography of Rufino José Maria, set against the historical context of Brazil and Africa in the nineteenth century.This book narrates the life of a Yoruba Muslim named Rufino José Maria, born in the kingdom of Oyo, in present-day Nigeria. Enslaved as an adolescent by a rival ethnic group, he was acquired by Brazilian slave traffickers and taken across the Atlantic. He spent eight years as a slave in the city of Salvador, in the northeast of Brazil, where he arrived in 1823. Rufino was later sold to the southernmost province of Rio Grande do Sul, where he became the slave of the local chief of police. Five years later, in 1835, he bought his freedom with money he saved as a hired-out slave in the streets of Salvador, in Bahia, and Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul. A few years later Rufino moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he embarked as a cook on a slave ship bound for Luanda. The trans-Atlantic slave trade had been abolished in Brazil since 1831, but it continued unabated due to official tolerance, but it came under fierce repression by British cruisers especially after 1839. Rufino made a few voyages between Luanda and the northeastern province of Pernambuco before his ship was captured by the British and taken to Sierra Leone in 1841. Here the ship would face trial by the Anglo-Brazilian Mixed Commission Against the Slave Trade. While waiting for the court's decision, Rufino lived among Yoruba Muslims, his people, and attended Quranic and Arabic classes in the outskirts of Freetown. In a rare outcome for cases such as this one, his ship was considered a "bad prize" and returned to Pernambuco with Rufino on board, again as a cook. After a few months in Recife, Pernambuco's capital, Rufino returned to Sierra Leone as a witness in a court case started by his employers against the English government. He attended classes with Muslim masters for close to two years. When he went back to Recife via Rio de Janeiro and Bahia in 1844, he established himself as a diviner-serving whites and blacks, free and slaves, Brazilians and Africans, Muslim and non-Muslims-as well as a spiritual leader, an Alufa, in the local Afro-Muslim community. In 1853 Rufino was arrested in Recife due to rumors of an imminent African slave revolt. The police used as evidence for his arrest the large number of manuscript books and other writings in his possession, all in Arabic, the same kind of material the Bahian police had found with Muslim rebels in Bahia thirty years earlier. During his interrogation, Rufino told his life story, which is used to reconstruct the world in which he lived under slavery in Brazil, on African shores, on board slave ships, and in Recife, where he settled. A truly Atlantic history dug out of the archives, Rufino's life is used to shed light on slavery and the slave trade, manumission, the complexities of slavery and freedom in Brazil, African freed persons, and the resilience of ethnic and religious identities. Methodologically, it combines social and cultural history with microhistory, with key academic themes of identity, creolization, African diaspora, and Atlantic history.

Reviews
This microhistory of the Atlantic world puts into stark relief Brazil's manifold and complex connections with Africa. By brilliantly reconstructing the life of a single individual, the authors provide a multilayered and broad canvas of the South Atlantic during the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. This is social history at its best., "Three of the finest Brazilian historians of slavery of their generation...bring to us an innovative and imaginative biography of a transatlantic enslaved sojourner whose life and travels reveal the complexities of the slave system in the South Atlantic....Fluidly translated, rarely does a book so impressive in its research and conceptualization convey its message in so accessible a narrative that it can be used to great advantage by both graduate and undergraduate students.This is one of the finest books to date on slavery and its complexities in the nineteenth-century South Atlantic." -- Stuart B. Schwartz, Hispanic American Historical Review "This microhistory of the Atlantic world puts into stark relief Brazil's manifold and complex connections with Africa. By brilliantly reconstructing the life of a single individual, the authors provide a multilayered and broad canvas of the South Atlantic during the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. This is social history at its best." -- Roquinaldo Ferreira, University of Pennsylvania "A brilliant study, The Story of Rufino explores the blurred lines between slavery and freedom for black men in the nineteenth-century Atlantic World and the pervasive role of the transatlantic slave trade in the Brazilian economy. It also stresses the role of violence and fear in terrorizing black people. Rufino had a life replete of adventures and misadventures in a turbulent Atlantic. Thanks to the research of Reis, Gomes, and Carvalho, readers can follow the paths of an exceptional Muslim man, whose life was not so different from other enslaved Africans." -- Mariana P. Candido, Mariana P. Candido, author of An African Slaving Port and the Atlantic World: Benguela and Its Hinterland "This tour de force biography of an African-born enslaved man who purchased his freedom and became involved in the slave trade complicates our understanding of the Atlantic slavery. Rufino's exceptional and cosmopolitan trajectory, in a world where slavery was pervasive, is a lesson of cultural resistance and resilience." -- Ana Lucia Araujo, Howard University "Three of the leading historians of slavery and the African diaspora in the South Atlantic have teamed up to bring us the remarkable story of Rufino JosMaria, also known as Abuncare. Through painstaking research in a vast range of sources, the authors enable us to follow Rufino's travels across the Atlantic and back, through slavery and a degree of freedom, as both a victim and a participant in the transatlantic trade. Rufino's story is, in many respects, an exceptional one, but his struggles, compromises, and accomplishments as an African and a Muslim vividly illuminate the many worlds he inhabited during the waning decades of a trade whose tragic imprint is still visible on both sides of the Atlantic." -- Barbara Weinstein, New York University, "The narrative demonstrates how enslaved Africans did not simply acquiesce to slavery; rather, they challenged the tyrannical systems exploiting them, and the book is replete with glimpses of this revolutionary zeal. Additionally, the work challenges lazy categorisations that seek to present a binary relationship between Islam and Blackness, highlighting how Black African communities sought to preserve their religious tradition, even through the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade." -- Haroon Bashir, Muslim World Book Review "Three of the finest Brazilian historians of slavery of their generation...bring to us an innovative and imaginative biography of a transatlantic enslaved sojourner whose life and travels reveal the complexities of the slave system in the South Atlantic....Fluidly translated, rarely does a book so impressive in its research and conceptualization convey its message in so accessible a narrative that it can be used to great advantage by both graduate and undergraduate students. This is one of the finest books to date on slavery and its complexities in the nineteenth-century South Atlantic." -- Stuart B.
