Vinhos de Altitude no Estado de Santa Catarina: A firmação de uma identidade
No presente artigo será abordada a história recente da vitivinicultura no estado de Santa Catarina - Brasil, discutindo os territórios que trabalham com os, assim denominados, “Vinhos de Altitude”. Mostraremos que a vitivinicultura não pode mais ser percebida de forma idílica, como uma empresa de pequenos agricultores rurais. Atualmente, a produção de vinhos é vista como uma importante commodity, em que a conquista de prêmios em competições nacio…
Region, Nation, and Social Science: An Interview with Joseph L. Love on 50 Years of Studying Brazil
In late September 2016, the Lemann Institute for Brazilian Studies at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) hosted a symposium on regionalism in Brazilian history to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Professor Joseph L. Love's arrival at Illinois. Organized by the Institute's director, Professor Jerry Dávila, the symposium brought together historians from the United States and Brazil for a day-long discussion of an issue that cont…
Naming Practices in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-century Brazil: Names, Namesakes, and Families in the Parish of São José, Minas Gerais
This article explores the onomastic universe of the parish of São José del Rei, Minas Gerais, during the period 1751–1890. The analysis draws upon a nearly complete set of parish registers of births, augmented by extensive marriage, death, and supplemental census records. The results of the research provide new information regarding patterns of naming at both the aggregate level of social groups and at the intergenerational level made accessible …
Padrões de riqueza no Sudeste do Brasil, 1815-1860
O Oitocentos, especialmente antes da década de 1880, são vistos como um período de crescimento lento ou de estagnação de boa parte da economia brasileira. Ao longo das últimas três décadas, tal interpretação vem sendo revista por estudiosos da História Econômica, em particular com relação ao Sudeste. Este artigo utiliza inventários post mortem e outras fontes quantitativas para detectar se houve ou não crescimento real da riqueza em três localida…

The Slave Market in Rio de Janeiro circa 1869: Context, Movement and Social Experience
O mercado de escravos no Rio de Janeiro foi transformado ao longo do século XIX. Antes de 1850, escravos africanos chegaram na cidade através do comércio atlântico. A compra e venda de escravos, então, foi transferido a um mercado local caracterizado por vendas individuais. Em vez de um processo concentrado e dominado por espaços formais e negociantes de escravos, o mercado de escravos no Rio de Janeiro foi, em 1869, um processo contínuo que abra…
Risk, Incentives, and Contracts: Partnerships in Rio de Janeiro, 1870-1891
We construct an individual-level data set of partnership contracts in late-nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro to study the determinants of contract terms. Partners with limited liability contributed more capital and received lower draws for private expenses and lower profit shares than their unlimited partners. Unlimited partners in turn received higher-powered incentives when they contracted with limited partners than when they contracted with un…
The Forbidden Lands: Colonial Identity, Frontier Violence, and the Persistence of Brazil's Eastern Indians, 1750 - 1830
Voltando aos registros paroquiais de Minas colonial: Etnicidade em São José do Rio das Mortes, 1780-1810
Este artigo trata dos complexos temas de etnicidade e classificação social no Brasil dos séculos XVIII e XIX. Bases de dados substanciais, de fontes primárias distintas, permitem vislumbrar um quadro integrado dessa complexidade, tal como evoluiu nas Minas Gerais. A lógica no uso das categorias étnicas/de cor e sociais emerge pelo cruzamento de nomes e características individuais nos registros de batismo e de casamento e em listas nominativas. O …
Layers, Flows and Intersections: Jeronymo Jose de Mello and Artisan Life in Rio de Janeiro, 1840s-1880s
The social history of Rio de Janeiro's artisans is approached using an interdisciplinary methodology based on spatial data (GIS) and concepts of layers, flows, and intersections. Datasets regarding occupation, real property ownership, and slaveholding are intersected and social change experienced by artisans resident in the diverse neighborhoods of the city is analyzed. The story of one tinker in particular is pursued to illustrate the major chan…

Esta análise sobre condições de vida no Rio de Janeiro, no século XIX, baseia-se em dados antropométricos e descritivos obtidos na documentação da Casa de Detenção. A pesquisa mostra que houve mudanças significativas nas alturas de presos ao longo do tempo e em função de sua cor e nacionalidade. Principalmente, houve um declínio na estatura de escravos, a partir dos nascidos nos anos 1830 e continuando ate os anos 1860, onde se interrompe o prese…

From Silver to Cocaine: Latin American Commodity Chains and the Building of the World Economy, 1500–2000
latin america has been actively engaged in global trade since a Genoese sailor with Portuguese cartographic and navigational skills and experience sailing to Africa on Spanish ships partially financed by Italian bankers reached what would be known as the ''New World.'' A German named the new continent America, after a Florentine who wrote in Latin. Although today many observers of the world economy are fascinated by a package of transformations k…
Stringing Together a Nation: Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon and the Construction of a Modern Brazil, 1906-1930
In this excellent and engaging book, Todd Diacon provides a balanced portrait of one of Brazil’s most famous explorers and exponents of national integration. Diacon performs an important service by contextualizing the exploration of the Brazilian far west and construction of a telegraph line within the ideologies and institutions of national integration in a rich and readable historical analysis. Neither saint nor villain, Rondon comes across her…
Cities and Wealth in the South Atlantic: Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro before 1860
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, the leading cities of the South Atlantic, experienced substantial growth in wealth holding during the first half of the nineteenth century. In this article, we argue that this growth is best interpreted in a broad, comparative framework, which examines these cities in relation to their internal demographic and institutional arrangements and to their external links to the Atlantic World. Our research emphasizes thr…
Wealth Holding in Southeastern Brazil, 1815-60
Southeastern Brazil underwent a series of profound transformations over the course of the first half of the nineteenth century. Rio de Janeiro, the capital-in-exile of the Portuguese Empire, became the capital of a newly independent but also monarchical Brazil. The city was transformed by urban growth, a massive influx of African slaves, and the rise of wealthy merchants and coffee planters to the head of local society.1 Beyond the capital, other…
Elite Families and Oligarchic Politics on the Brazilian Frontier: Mato Grosso, 1889–1937
One of the central issues in Latin American political history is the role played by oligarchies. In the case of Brazil, students of oligarchy have focused on elite family networks and coronelismo, the often violent manifestation of oligarchic politics at the local level. Drawing on the substantial body of literature on the family in Latin America, this essay proposes an interpretation of oligarchical politics in which changing family structures i…
Exports and Inequality: Evidence From the Brazilian Frontier, 1870–1937
In order to examine the relation between exports and inequality, this article first estimates per-capita income, exports, and other indicators of economic development in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Manuscript data are analyzed to measure and interpret three kinds of inequality: of income, of total wealth, and of landholding. The results suggest that exports and foreign ownership contributed far less to inequality than is imagined in dependency theory
