The Boundaries of Freedom: Slavery, Abolition, and the Making of Modern Brazil
The study of Brazilian slavery and abolition has expanded considerably in the last few decades, with important conclusions that develop our understanding of citizenship and freedom.

Here they provide in English scholarship from Brazilian historians who usually write in Portuguese. The…
A Long Poem of Walking”: Flâneurs, Vendors, and Chronicles of Post-abolition Rio de Janeiro

Bahian patriotic history distinguishes July 2—as opposed to Brazil’s national independence day of Septem…
