Throughout the nineteenth century the idyllic island of Fernando de Noronha, which lies two hundred miles off Brazil's northeastern coast, was home to Brazil's largest forced labor penal colony. In Punishment in Paradise Peter M. Beattie uses Noronha as a case study to understand nineteenthcentury Brazil's varied social and cultural values, especially in relation to justice, class, color, civil condition, human rights and labor. As Brazils slave population declined after 1850, the use of colonialera disciplinary practices at Noronhasuch as flogging and forced laborstoked anxieties about human rights and Brazils international image. Beattie contends that the treatment of slaves, convicts, and other social categories subject to coercive labor extraction were interconnected and that reforms that benefitted one of these categories made them harder to deny to others. In detailing Noronha's history and the end of slavery as part of an international expansion of human rights, Beattie places Brazil firmly in the purview of Atlantic history.
