The best books on The History of Brazil and Slavery, recommended by Ana Lucia Araujo

Ana Lucia Araujo, a historian at Howard University and author of Humans in Shackles, talks us through the books that shed light on that history and how Brazil’s past cannot be understood without also studying its connections with Africa.
