Abstract

The jangadeiros, fishermen of northeast Brazil who sail on small rafts, have had considerable impact on Brazil’s history. In 1884, Ceara was the first Brazilian state to abolish slavery. Propelling this path breaking decision was a year-long protest by the jangadeiros, led by Francisco Jose do Nascimento, the ‘Dragon of the Seas’, who was the founder of the Liberation Society of Ceara.
