Empty Spaces: Perspectives on emptiness in modern history

This volume draws together contributions from authors working on landscapes and rurality, along with national and imperial narratives, and seeks to foreground the importance of emptiness as a productive prism through which to interrogate a variety of imperial, national, cultural and urban histories
Four Fishermen, Orson Welles, and the Making of the Brazilian Northeast
In 1942 Orson Welles traveled to Brazil to film a movie about four Brazilian fishermen who had protested their labor conditions by traveling nearly 2,500 kilometers for sixty-one days from the city of Fortaleza to Rio de Janeiro on a rustic sail-raft called a jangada.

Making Abolition Brazilian: British Law and Brazilian Abolitionists in Nineteenth-Century Minas Gerais and Pernambuco
This article compares two cases in which Brazilian abolitionists mobilized around a law passed in 1843 to prohibit British subjects, no matter where they resided, from owning slaves. Placing a case against a large British-owned gold mine in Minas Gerais alongside outcry against a Scottish widow who owned two slaves in Recife, the article argues that this law was used as a rhetorical tool to gain support for abolitionism and create public outrage …
