Sinhana: Biography of A Colonial Brazil Slave

The biography of Sinhana brings us the life of a black woman, born slave in the first half of the 19th century in Brazil Colony, who died in the whipping post at the age of 25. Her story not only shows us all the suffering experienced by a slave in Brazil, but also the beautiful friendship between two women in completely antagonistic social positions: Sinhá Clarice and her slave Sinhana.

This is her story, in her own words.
