Abstract

The article comments Keila Grinberg's article, "Masters without slaves", focusing on two themes. The first deals with the macro-political meanings of the slave lawsuits studied by Grinberg, regarding the State's role in the social relations of slavery. The second approaches the concept of slave society to indicate the need of additional theoretical efforts in order to comprehend the specificity of the Brazilian slave system.
