Know her name. Remember her power.
Xica da Silva remains a polarizing figure in Brazilian history. To some, she is a symbol of the sexual exploitation inherent in slavery; to others, a feminist icon who beat the system at its own game. This paper suggests that the historical record supports a middle ground.
This paper seeks to deconstruct the myth of Xica da Silva by analyzing the structural conditions of the diamond mining economy and the nuances of manumission in colonial Brazil. It posits that Xica’s life represents a calculated negotiation of power. Rather than viewing her solely through the lens of concubinage, this analysis highlights her role as a manager of a vast economic household, a property owner, and a savvy navigator of the Portuguese patriarchal system.
