Building New Brazilian Institutions
This chapter synthesizes the history of the monarchy in Brazil from the Portuguese court’s 1807 exile to Rio de Janeiro to the end of the Regency in 1840. It addresses the European threats to the Portuguese monarchy, its successes in Brazil, and its adaptation to the Atlantic revolutionary era. It focuses on the actions of two monarchs, João VI and Pedro, João’s heir in both the old Portuguese kingdom and the new Brazilian one, which Pedro made i…
Rebuttal to Allain El Youssef’s Review of The Sacred Cause in JGS 5.3 (2020)
The Sacred Cause
This work is focused on the abolitionist movement in Rio de Janeiro. It offers a careful reconstruction of the movement’s context and evolution in Rio, and the related formal parliamentary history. An understanding of the nature of the political parties of the Brazilian monarchy, the role of the crown, and the significance of ideology and individual statesmen has been brought to bear in order to comprehend how the regime actually interacted with …

The Abolitionist Movement of 1879-1888. Lessons From a Popular Reform Movement
hile honored with the invitation to write an opinion piece regarding nineteenth-century Abolitionism and its relevance today, I hesitate.I am an American and a historian; as an outsider with professional background in Brazil's nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, I am uncomfortable in suggesting that I can be of use as a political commentator in regard to Brazil today.Yet, in other ways, perhaps both my being foreign and my being someone who…
Porous City
The author attempts to get at much of Rio's past through the ways in which “writers, artists, and urban dwellers ... perceive, remember, manipulate, and imagine” the city (p. xii). He focuses on the area called the Cidade Nova to do this. He emphasizes class and race relations as well as cultural expression over time, particularly in the era from the mid-nineteenth century through to the Estado Novo (1937–1945). It is pioneering, ambitious work, …

O chamado às armas
O papel de Nabuco no movimento abolicionista tem sido caracterizado de diferentes maneiras, em relação tanto às suas próprias visões políticas quanto ao seu significado no processo que levou ao fim da escravidão em 1888. Pesquisas sugerem que tanto as visões de Nabuco quanto o seu significado mudaram no contexto contingente da trajetória histórica do movimento. Uma das conjunturas mais críticas que demonstraram isso foi o ano transformador de 188…
Politics, Parliament, and the Penalty of the Lash
The Brazilian penalty of the lash was reformed (1886) by a cabinet and parliament opposed to abolition. While the penalty's abuse had been exploited by Abolitionists attempting the cabinet's fall, the cabinet unexpectedly supported its reform. This apparent contradiction has not been satisfactorily addressed; this article attempts to do so. It will demonstrate that the cabinet's support was a cabinet tactic designed to vindicate the cabinet's pol…
The Foundations of Freyre's Work
The burden of this analysis will be to suggest the nature of Freyre's preoccupations with race and patriarchy, to re-examine the centrality of miscegenation in his thought, and to demonstrate the profoundly reactionary position regarding modernity and politics which is manifest in the way he discussed and related all of these elements. I hope to demonstrate that, for Freyre, hegemonic race relations, miscegenation, and a reactionary authoritarian…

Brazilian Abolitionism, Its Historiography, and the Uses of Political History
Explanations of the Abolitionist movement's success in Brazil (1888) have, since the 1960s and 1970s, emphasised the movement's material context, its class nature, and the agency of the captives. These analyses have misunderstood and gradually ignored the movement's formal political history. Even the central role of urban political mobilisation is generally neglected; when it is addressed, it is crippled by lack of informed analysis of its articu…
Formação dos partidos brasileiros
Apresento aqui uma resposta aos comentários de R. Salles e M. Dantas, em que se discutem o uso da terminologia gramsciana, as diferenças ideológicas entre os partidos, os nomes dos partidos durante a Regência e o Segundo Reinado e a prática política nos âmbitos provincial e nacional. Argumento que os saquaremas não eram um partido hegemônico, seus líderes eram orgânicos, as diferenças entre os partidos eram essenciais em certos pontos e o uso dos…
Formação dos partidos políticos no Brasil da Regência à Conciliação, 1831-1857
Os partidos se originaram de facções da Câmara lideradas por oradores que representavam oligarquias rurais e comerciais, bem como grupos urbanos mobilizados. Suas origens, evidentes na Assembléia Constituinte de 1823, consolidaram-se na "oposição liberal" de 1826-31. A maioria moderada dominou os primeiros anos da Regência, mas dividiu-se a respeito do aprofundamento da reforma liberal. Um movimento de reação levou a um novo partido majoritário e…
Hello, Hello Brazil
The history of Brazilian popular music has attracted colleagues in Brazil and in other disciplines in the States for some time (for example, José Ramos Tinhorão, Hermano Vianna, Gerard Béhague, and Charles Perrone). Here, the author’s ambitious project joins those of a growing number of historians interested in cultural history, relating the development of a coherent popular music culture, ca. 1930 – 50s, to its larger political and socioeconomic…
Richard M. Morse (1922-2001)
Dick Morse died on 17 April 2001, at his Haitian home in Pétionville. Thus Latin Americans lost one of their most beloved interpreters, Latin Americanists, their only pensador.Richard McGee Morse was on born 26 June 1922, in Summit, New Jersey; the family moved to Greenwich, Connecticut, early on. Morse’s family name was distinguished by three centuries in New England; his grandfather, a merchant, figured in the earliest commerce with Japan. His …
Provincial Origins of the Brazilian State
This study addresses the provincial origins and role of the reactionary party that legislated the reconstruction of the Brazilian monarchy, perhaps Latin America's most stable nineteenth-century political regime. The study locates the party in terms of regional power, taking into account social, economic, and political factors. It analyzes the party's ideology in the historical context of the Regency (1831–1840) and its immediate aftermath, an er…
The Abolition of the Brazilian Slave Trade in 1850
In 1970 Leslie Bethell argued that the Brazilian slave trade was ended by British pressure. Since then others have pointed to slaveholders' fears of insurrection and of yellow fever. This article addresses the issue by reviewing Brazilian slavery, the African trade and yellow fever. Its analysis of sources and context leads it to question revisionist arguments. Moreover, while it supports Bethell on the centrality of British pressure, it goes bey…
Citizen Emperor
This analysis clarifies the role of a monarch in shaping a nation-state. The author’s evidence includes a wide variety of personal and diplomatic correspondence, contemporary periodicals and books, as well as appropriate secondary sources. He has sifted more than a score of Brazilian and European archives, including the imperial family’s private Arquivo Grão Pará (Petrópolis). In the early chapters, the author often cites his Brazil: The Forging …
Party Formation and State-Making
In the nineteenth century Brazil was considered unique not only for its size and Portuguese heritage but also for its distinct social and political characteristics. Brazil was an established slave society that was maintained in peace and unity under a constitutional monarchy. Traditionally, historiography has separated these elements. Most recently, the social history dominant in the Brazilian and Anglo-American academies has given us rich studie…
Optimism and Melancholy
This study explores the ideological response of Argentina's Generación del Ochenta to the ‘modernisation’ over which they presided. It begins with a brief analysis of the political role of the Generación , the urban reform of Buenos Aires, and the socio-economic developments associated with both. It goes on to discuss the nature of the elite, the socialisation of its members, and the informal networks central to its role. It concludes by discussi…

History, Race, and the State in the Thought of Oliveira Viana
H E Brazilian sociologist and historian Oliveira Viana (1883-1951), correctly labeled a racist and proponent of authoritarianism, has been marginalized into oblivion in his own country. Yet no student of Brazil's interwar period can deny Viana's central importance. Moreover, Viana's written legacy, composed of his analyses of Brazil and his contributions to paternalist labor legislation, remains influential.' Indeed, one can argue, as this essay …
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires
The Parisian Faubourg Saint Germain and perhaps the Rue de la Paix and the boulevards seemed the adequate measure of luxury to all of thesnobs. The old colonial shell of the Latin American cities little approximated such scenery. The example of Baron de Haussmann and his destructive example strengthened the decision of the new bourgeoisies who wished to erase the past, and some cities began to transform their physiognomy: a sumptuous avenue, a pa…

The Revolta Contra Vacina of 1904
RANCISCo de Paula Rodrigues Alves's modernizing administration (19021906) imposed a new urban plan, portworks, and drastic measures against disease on Rio de Janeiro. In 1904, in a crisis linked to the administration's obligatory smallpox vaccination plans, a popular revolt dominated the capital and cleared the way for a nearly successful military coup. The historiography to date has either neglected this revolt or (more recently) focused on one …

This article examines how images of the Republic and republican citizenship were constructed in Brazil between 1889 and 1900. It analyzes the role of civic rituals, education, and political discourse in shaping a national identity centered on republican ideals. The authors argue that despite the elite's efforts to control the formation of this new identity, popular interpretations and appropriations of republicanism often diverged from official p…

A Liberal Embraces Monarchy
Joaquim Nabuco (1849-1910) is known to most students of Brazilian history as an abolitionist, a member of the Second Reign's Liberal opposition and, perhaps, as the first Brazilian ambassador to the United States. Some of us, however, note that Nabuco was also an important spokesman for the monarchist reaction against the early Republic and an outstanding historian and apologist for the Monarchy. He thus suggests something of both the range, cont…
