Description:
In Chapters in Brazil's Colonial History, Capistrano de Abreu created an integrated history of Brazil in a landmark work of scholarship that is also a literary masterpiece. Abreu offers a startlingly modern analysis of the past, based on the role of the economy, settlement, and the occupation of the interior. In these pages, he combines sharp portraits of dramatic events -- close-fought battles against Dutch occupation in the 1650s, Indian resistance to often brutal internal expansion -- with insightful social history. A master of Brazil's ethnographic landscape, he provides detailed sketches of dairy life for Brazilians of all stripes.
