 hnography examining the relationships between the descendants of the Bar
 on of Juparanã and his five enslaved women. In an attempt to secure salv
 ation for his soul\, twelve years before the abolition of slavery and sh
 ortly before his death\, the Baron bequeathed a farm to his twenty-five 
 children\, born in the Paraíba Valley\, Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on the n
 arratives of my interlocutors\, alongside archival and photographic sour
 ces\, I explore how this history is retold by these descendants\, and th
 eir ongoing efforts to sustain the image of the Baron of Juparanã as a “
 Good Man.” This is maintained even in the face of clear evidence of the 
 violence of slavery and the abuse of the enslaved women from whom these 
 descendants also trace their lineage. In this context\, the process of m
 iscegenation\, and the inheritance granted to the Baron’s illegitimate c
 hildren\, facilitated the erasure of violent histories\, bound by what I
  term an “insoluble debt.”\n\nLeticia Marques is an Honorary Fellow at I
 NARRA research group (Image\, Narratives and Cultural Practices)\, Rio d
 e Janeiro State University.
