Abstract

The article seeks to show how, in parallel with the emergence of a slaveholding society in Brazil, the Portuguese colonial intervention in India also led to the constitution of a society marked by the presence of slaves. It seeks not only to point to the multiple convergences and similarities, but also to understand the contexts and practices that distinguished the phenomenon of slavery in Goa from that of the New World.
