| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to carry out a comparative study between the actions of the Jesuits in the administration of slaves in their rural properties in colonial America. For this, three Jesuit writings published in the 18th century will be used, two produced in Brazil and one in Mexico. They are: Instrucciones para los hermanos Jesuits administradores de haciendas (Mexican manuscript), probably produced between 1710 and 1725, Culture and opulence of Brazil for its drugs and mines, written by André João Antonil and published in 1711 and Christian Economy of the Gentlemen in the government of slaves, written by Jorge Benci and published in 1705. These three works were types of “manuals” that brought recommendations to hermanos administrators and plantation owners for the conduct of haciendas and engenhos and the relationship with slave labor. |
