Check links for details and history, but I found this interesting:
In 2004 the government acknowledged to the United Nations that at least 25,000 Brazilians work under conditions analogous to slavery. The top anti-slavery official puts the number of modern slaves at 50,000. More than 1,000 slave laborers were freed from a sugar cane plantation in 2007 by the Brazilian government, making it the largest anti-slavery raid in modern times in Brazil

I took a comparative slave systems class comparing & contrasting the US & Brazilian systems. The book we used that focuses on Brazil was To be a slave in Brazil, 1550-1888, by Kbatia M. de Queirbos Mattoso. It was well written & easy to understand. You might want to check it out.

about 80% of the African slave trade went to Brazil, not the USA.......
