Empires and Exploration
The Cambridge Companion to Latin American Independence
This collection of essays, as Marcela Echeverri and Cristina Soriano explain in their incisive introduction, “highlight[s] key questions” and seeks to “overcome inherited paradigms” in the history of Latin American independence (p. 17). While the recent bicentenary looms in the background, it is innovative engagement with the last two decades of scholarship, marked by an expansive understanding of the political and attention to the diverse social…
From Conquest to Colony
Constitutionalism as a Project and a Practice in Brazilian Independence
This article surveys the scholarly contributions in the Almanack Braziliense and the Almanack, paying particular attention to new research on the political culture of constitutionalism and early constitutionalist practice. Beginning in 2005, these contributions, in formats ranging from scholarly articles to presentations and exchanges on YouTube, show how people of various social groups in Brazil and with diverse political aims and projects recko…
News of Constitutions
This article examines the spread of constitutionalist ideas in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the 1810s and early 1820s. Successful pro-constitutionalist mobilization in early 1821 raises questions of how residents of Rio learned of constitutionalist projects taking shape elsewhere in the Atlantic world, most notably that of the Spanish Constitution of Cádiz written in 1812. By examining the record of efforts both to prevent the spread of news fro…

Brasil em projetos
Brasil em projetos is the first book in the series An Other History of Brazil, published by the Fundação Getúlio Vargas and dedicated to historical syntheses of the “construction of the nation” for a broad audience as it reflects on the bicentenary of Brazil's independence from Portugal in 1822 (p. 9). Thus, the history of Brazil in projects is itself a project, one that offers a dialogue between the past and the present and fosters “a better und…

William R. Summerhill. Inglorious Revolution
William R. Summerhill begins this engaging book by presenting readers with a puzzle. In the early nineteenth century the newly independent, slave-holding empire of Brazil and its neighboring Spanish-American republics shared several challenges to economic development: poverty, low productivity, and a predominantly agricultural economy. Yet, in contrast to these republics that quickly gained reputations as serial defaulters, Brazil’s government, b…
Brazil through French Eyes
Travelogues have long figured as among the most alluring and most fraught sources for scholars of Latin America's past. Their authors pursued personal and professional interests yet also endeavored to offer panoramic perspectives on social, political, and economic conditions in foreign lands. Their illustrations can include rare visual evidence of these conditions and corroborate conclusions drawn from other sources. At the same time, as Ana Luci…
Learning to obey
This article examines the published work and correspondence of Martinho de Mendonça, a Portuguese philosopher and royal official known for writing on education and for serving the crown in Brazil. While recent scholarship has examined either Mendonça's contributions to philosophical inquiry in Portugal or his tenure as governor, here I analyze the constructions of authority forged in both his book on noble education and his administrative corresp…

Slavery, Empire and Civilization
This article examines a defense of the slave trade mounted in the 1790s by the Luso-Brazilian Bishop Azeredo Coutinho. While Azeredo's defense has been interpreted as a function of his slave-owning family's interest, this article provides a broader analysis of Azeredo's writings on the slave trade and the Portuguese empire within the contexts of eighteenth-century Luso-Brazilian intellectual culture and transatlantic debates about empire, commerc…
Perfeita civilização
Esse artigo desenvolve uma análise do processo ambivalente de transformação da capital colonial em corte real, verificado no final do período colonial no Brasil após a fuga da família real de Portugal para o Rio de Janeiro. Ao "metropolizar" a cidade, oficiais régios buscaram limitar a demonstração pública da presença da escravidão e redefinir as fronteiras físicas e sociais interpostas aos escravos africanos e afro-descendentes, contingente que …
