    Barbara WeinsteinARTICLELuso-Brazilian Review2026

    Valim, Alexandre Busko and Ana Maria Mauad . . 2024. New Perspectives on the Good Neighbor Policy . Lexington Books. The title of this collection of essays may lead the reader to assume that the authors are addressing the Good Neighbor Policy in the broadest sense, when in fact almost all

  • Waiting for the Miracle

    Ravinder Kaur, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLERadical History Review2025Referencias: 13

    Why do the dreamworlds of the economic miracle persist even when it fails to deliver? What might account for its resilience, its endless capacity to resurrect in ever-new forms in old and new territories? This essay explores the enduring enigma of economic enchantments: the modern belief in the power of capitalist growth to salve the humiliation of defeat in wars and colonial rule, to turn depressed economies torn by ethnic conflicts, external de…

  • H ow to B ecome a H istorian of L atin A merica

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEThe Americas A Quarterly Review…2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    In January 2001, before the Conference on Latin American History decided to link its annual luncheon address to the recipient of its Distinguished Service Award, I had the honor of speaking at the CLAH luncheon, and in that previous talk I briefly discussed the circumstances that led to my becoming a Latin Americanist. Here I return to the theme of becoming a historian of Latin America, but this time I will be drawing not on my own rather unremar…

  • Brazil

    Brian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2021

    It is good news for anyone in the Anglophone world interested in Brazil that there is now a single volume in English, by two of Brazil's most eminent historians, that surveys that nation's history from its colonial roots to the very recent past. There are other histories of Brazil available to the interested reader, but they tend to be volumes written specifically with the undergraduate classroom in mind. Brazil: A Biography is not that sort of b…

  • Richard J. Evans. Eric Hobsbawm

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2020

    Most historians would be pleased, if secretly, to have so much as a Wikipedia page dedicated to their life and work. Eric Hobsbawm not only published a best-selling memoir during his lifetime, but is now the subject of a 750-page biography by the distinguished historian of Germany, Richard J. Evans. Even taking into account that Hobsbawm was, during the final decades of his long life, arguably “the best-known and the most widely read historian in…

  • Blacks of the Land

    Open AccessJohn Manuel Monteiro, James Woodard et al.BOOKBlacks of the Land2018

    Originally published in Portuguese in 1994 as Negros da Terra, this field-defining work by the late historian John M. Monteiro has been translated into English by Professors Barbara Weinstein and James Woodard. Monteiro's work established ethnohistory as a field in colonial Brazilian studies and made indigenous history a vital part of how scholars understand Brazil's colonial past. Drawing on over two dozen collections on both sides of the Atlant…

  • Globalizando a História do Trabalho

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLERevista Mundos do Trabalho2018Citada por: 1

    O presente artigo segue a trajetória da revista International Labor and Working-Class History (ILWCH) ao longo das últimas duas décadas, delineando sua transição de uma revista com um enfoque quase exclusivamente na história da Europa para uma publicação com uma perspectiva mais global. Embora houvesse nas páginas da ILWCH um interesse na globalização como fenômeno começando nos anos 1990, um importante artigo sobre este tema escrito por Charles …

  • History Without a Cause? Grand Narratives, World History, and the Postcolonial Dilemma

    Barbara E Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinCHAPTERPostcolonial Studies Dictionary2016

    Among the many historical conventions that went out of fashion in the wake of the linguistic and/or cultural turn was the grand explanatory narrative rooted in an interpretive tradition that typically traced an arc from causes to consequences. 1 A chorus of criticism consigned the grand or meta-narrative to the dustbin of historiography, if not history. Linguistic theorists like Hayden White seemed to challenge historians' cherished notions of in…

  • João José Reis. Divining Slavery and Freedom

    Brian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    Once upon a time, historians of slavery and emancipation in Brazil labored under the misapprehension that the majority of the records pertaining to the enslaved had been lost or destroyed. Thus, they believed that it would be impossible to write the sort of detailed histories about life and labor under slavery being published elsewhere. A handful of pioneering studies on plantation slavery in specific counties did offer a somewhat more intimate v…

  • Sou ainda uma Brazilianist

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLERevista Brasileira de História2016Citada por: 2Referencias: 3

    Este artigo questiona a utilidade da categoria de "brasilianista". Esta expressão, uma verdadeira "etiqueta" para o estrangeiro que estuda Brasil, surgiu nos anos 1970, numa época de expansão dos estudos brasileiros nos Estados Unidos, a qual coincidiu com os "anos de chumbo", no Brasil. Por isso, o conceito nascido no contexto da Guerra Fria fatalmente invocava uma figura norte-americana com orientação política específica e cujas pesquisas levar…

  • Orientalismo em um só País? Raça, Região e Nação no Brasil do Século XX

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEPrim Facie2016

    This article considers the different approaches to the problem of regional inequalities within nations in Latin America, and specifically in Brazil. Beginning in the 1960s, scholars used "internal colonialism" to analyze these inequalities, but this concept fell out of fashion in the 1980s with the post-structuralist/cultural turn. Yet dramatic regional inequalities continued to be a feature of Latin American societies. This article suggests adap…

  • The Color of Modernity

    Brian Weinstein, Barbara E Weinstein et al.BOOKColor of Modernity2015Citada por: 11

    In The Color of Modernity, Barbara Weinstein focuses on race, gender, and regionalism in the formation of national identities in Brazil; this focus allows her to explore how uneven patterns of economic development are consolidated and understood. Organized around two principal episodes-the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution and 1954's IV Centenário, the quadricentennial of São Paulo's founding-this book shows how both elites and popular sectors in…

  • John Manuel Monteiro (1956-2013)

    Silvia Hunold Lara, Stuart B Schwartz et al.ARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2014

    On March 26, 2013, a tragic auto accident interrupted the rich and productive career of historian John Manuel Monteiro. Born in Minnesota, the descendant of Portuguese immigrants, John spent part of his childhood in Brazil and Colombia but did his advanced studies in history in the United States, first at Colorado College and then at the University of Chicago, where he earned both his master's and doctoral degrees in 1980 and 1985, respectively. …

  • The Making of the Middle Class

    A Ricardo López-Pedreros, Mrimalini Sinha et al.BOOKMaking of the Middle Class2012

    In this important and timely collection of essays, historians reflect on the middle class: what it is, why its struggles figure so prominently in discussions of the current economic crisis, and how it has shaped, and been shaped by, modernity. The contributors focus on specific middle-class formations around the world—in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas—since the mid-nineteenth century. They scrutinize these formations in r…

  • Postcolonial Brazil

    Barbara E Weinstein, Barbara Weinstein et al.BOOKHandbook of Latin American History2012

    This article is a portal into the rapidly expanding historiography of modern Brazil. It highlights the major nodes of discussion and debate among historians of Brazil over the last two decades, and describes how these debates have been shaped by broader shifts in the historical profession. Two themes frame this survey of the new historiographical trends for postcolonial Brazil. One is the impact of the linguistic or cultural turn on that historio…

  • Elas nem parecem operárias” – feminilidade e classe na América Latina no século XX

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEAnos 902010Referencias: 2

    Novas pesquisas sobre a cultura de consumo e a feminilidade operária nos Estados Unidos têm argumentado que a atenção dada pelas jovens operárias à roupa da moda e aos romances populares não minou as identidades proletárias, mas, pelo contrário, providenciou importantes recursos para criar essas identidades. Neste artigo considero se podemos encontrar um processo similar de apropriação entre as mulheres operárias na América Latina. Mulheres operá…

  • Erecting and Erasing Boundaries

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEEIAL - Estudios Interdisciplinarios…2008

    One of the ongoing tensions in the field of Latin American history is the relationship between Spanish America and Portuguese America, and to what extent they together constitute a coherent object of study called Latin America. Brazilianists never tire of bemoaning the hegemony of the Mexicanists (particularly in the field of history) and the reluctance of most Spanish Americanists to fully integrate Brazil into their courses and transnational fr…

  • Modernidade tropical

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLERevista do Instituto de Estudos…2007

    This article examines two representations of the Amazon and its potential for development produced in 1944 as part of the "Good Neighbor Policy" promoted by the United States during World War II. It analyzes the Disney film The Amazon awakens, whose portrayal of the Amazon as urbanized and incipiently modern, contrasts with the usual attention to regional exoticism and otherness. In accentuating the Amazon's potential for progress, the film visua…

  • They don't even look like women workers”

    Open AccessBrian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEInternational Labor and…2006Citada por: 1

    Recent research on consumer culture and working-class femininity in the United States has argued that attention to fashionable clothing and dime novels did not undermine female working-class identities, but rather provided key resources for creating those identities. In this essay I consider whether we can see a similar process of appropriation by working-class women in Latin America. There women employed in factories had to contend with widespre…

  • "Inventing the "Mulher Paulista

    Brian Weinstein, Barbara WeinsteinARTICLEJournal of women's history2006Citada por: 5Referencias: 2

    This article considers the complicated relationship between women's mobilization and their recognition as political actors. In 1932 the state of São Paulo, long Brazil's dominant political center, took up arms against the federal government, headed by Getúlio Vargas, in protest against São Paulo's diminished status under the new dictatorship. A key feature of this short-lived civil war was the prominent role of women in the regionalist movement. …
