The Return of Hans Staden: A Go-between in the Atlantic World
Eve Duffy and Alida Metcalf have created an engaging and highly readable analysis of the famous sixteenth-century book True History, the author who wrote it, and the process by which the book came to be published. In many ways this study may be read as a sequel to Alida Metcalf’s wonderful book Go-betweens and the Colonization of Brazil: 1500 – 1600 (2006). Indeed Duffy and Metcalf argue that Hans Staden “can be best understood as a go-between” (…

Historiography of the Structure and Functioning of the Portuguese Inquisition in Colonial Brazil
Few people outside of Portugal and Brazil know that the Inquisition reached its tentacles across the Atlantic and took hold in Portugal’s Brazilian colonies. Not only did it take hold, but it played a significant role in the formation of Luso‐Brazilian society and the exercise of power in the colonies. Research on the structure and functioning of the Inquisition in Brazil continues to demonstrate that this institution and the records that it kept…

Dois fatores explicam este fenômeno: primeiro, a Inquisição transformou-se de um tribunal de repressão em uma instituição de promoção social nos fins do século XVII. E segundo, as famílias pernambucanas reconheceram na Inquisição uma instituição através da qual poderiam se promover socialmente.…
In the Name of the Inquisition: The Portuguese Inquisition and Delegated Authority in Colonial Pernambuco, Brazil
When the Portuguese Inquisition officially began in the year 1536, Brazil inhabited only the extreme margins of the Portuguese Empire and elicited little concern from the Inquisitors in Lisbon. Royal authority only became permanently established in 1549 in the person of Tomé de Sousa as governor-general of Brazil. The establishment of ecclesiastical authority over Brazil occurred about the same time through the padroado real , or royal patronage.…
Children of the Pátria: Representations of Childhood and Welfare State Ideologies at the 1922 Rio de Janeiro International Centennial Exposition
