On 26 January 1835, Bahia’s provincial president ordered rapid investigations, searches, and seizures following the Malê uprising. Police confiscated Qur’anic writings, Arabic papers, Islamic objects, and Candomblé items; surveillance extended beyond suspected rebels to African religious life and Black associations. The crackdown treated faith and literacy as security threats. The order demonstrates how colonial and postcolonial power tried to suppress not only armed resistance but also the cultural and intellectual networks that made collective action possible.
