Teatro e abolição: A cabana do pai Tomás nos palcos brasileiros

Abstract

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin had a major role in the consolidation of an anti-slavery consciousness at international level. Published in book form in 1852, the novel became one of the greatest best-sellers of the nineteenth century. This article evidences the importance of the adaptations brought to the Brazilian stage for the country’s abolitionist campaign.
