African Voices from the 1835 Malê Revolt in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

This dataset and the accompanying appendices present 157 additional published accounts from Brazil, namely those by Africans who participated in the 1835 Malê Revolt in Salvador, Bahia. Following the revolt, the police conducted more than two hundred hearings of enslaved and free Creoles and Africans in the city. In the late twentieth century, the Bahia state archives published the manuscripts in five volumes. Presenting transcriptions from those publications and translations into English of the testimony of each African (not Creoles) makes them available to more readers.
