O Dia em que adiaram o carnaval: Política externa e a construção do Brasil
This book’s title refers to the Brazilian government’s effort to suspend the celebration of Rio de Janeiro’s Carnaval in 1912 from February until April to mourn the death of the nation’s premier diplomat, the Barão do Rio Branco (José Maria da Silva Paranhos Jr.), who died the Saturday before Ash Wednesday. The common citizens of Rio de Janeiro, however, honored Rio Branco in their own fashion by celebrating Carnaval twice that year. Villafañe us…
The Jealous Institution: Male Nubility, Conjugality, Sexuality, and Discipline on the Social Margins of Imperial Brazil
In 1997, an 'attempted rebellion' erupted in the Professor Barreto Campelo Penitentiary on Itamaracá Island, Pernambuco. A journalist reported that the suspension of conjugal visits sparked a brawl in which three inmates were stabbed before guards restored order.

Blood and Debt: War and the Nation State in Latin America
The idea of a “peace dividend” is such common currency in contemporary political and economic parlance that it has the ring of common sense. In an intriguing work of historical sociology, Miguel Centeno proposes what might be called a “war dividend” that Latin American states never collected during the period crucial to his study, the nineteenth century. Many scholars have linked the rise of powerful central governments to states’ ability to crea…
Reconstructing Criminality in Latin America
This volume brings together an effectual and lively collection of articles on crime, criminality, and law enforcement in Latin America, with case studies set in five different nations from the late eighteenth century to contemporary times. While three of the ten broad-ranging essays have been previously published, most are original essays produced with the theme of “reconstructing criminality” in mind. Like most collections, cohesion around the c…
Beyond Machismos: Recent Examinations of Masculinities in Latin America
The Tribute of Blood: Army, Honor, Race, and Nation in Brazil, 1864–1945
Class Politics and Class Identity in Mid-Twentieth-Century Brazil
With two of four titles alluding to E. P. Thompson's Making of the English Working Class, it should come as no surprise that the studies under review here reexamine "class" as a category of analysis in the history of the mid-1900s from a variety of perspectives. The authors all analyze how issues of race, gender, nationality, experience, and sexuality shaped class struggle, cooperation, and identity formation. Rather than insisting on fixed taxon…

T v H E complaints, civil disobedience, rhetoric, and humor generated by nearly a century of army recruitment reforms in Brazil illuminate a conflictual transition in conceptions of honor, masculinity, penology, citizenship, national identity, and the proper limits of public power.
