Why did African Muslims in Brazil stage the Bahia Slave Rebellion?<\/h2>\n

Since the introduction of slavery into the New World, there have always been slave revolts, attempted conspiracies, and a fear of slave revolts. Brazil alone faced at least seven revolts between 1807 and 1835. The largest of these revolts was the Bahia Rebellion of 1835. It was largest and best planned revolt after the Haitian Revolution. It involved more than three hundred people and was planned in advance.<\/p>\n

It was planned over the course of several months in spite of strict surveillance by the authorities. All of the leaders and most of its participants came from the African Muslim community which itself lived in secret. This blog explores the role of Islam in the Bahia Rebellion and how it affected the sense of identity among slaves.<\/p>\n
