Race, State, and Armed Forces in Independence-Era Brazil
Focusing on the military institutions (army, militia, and National Guard) of Bahia, Brazil, this book analyzes the regions transition from Portuguese colony to province of the Brazilian Empire. It examines the social, racial, and cultural dimensions of post-independence state-building in one of the principal slave plantation regions of the Americas. Contrary to those who stress the autonomy of the Brazilian state, this book documents the close connections between the locally-organized armed forces and society in the late colonial period.

Nossos Ancestrais, Genealogia E História
Este livro, que levou vinte e sete anos de pesquisas genealógicas, será de grande relevância, uma vez que vai documentar e registrar a genealogia de grandes famílias de quase todo o Centro-Oeste Mineiro, e ainda, narrar um pouco de sua história, de sua etnia e de sua cultura. Seu público alvo será, além, de seus próprios descendentes, também de futuros pesquisadores de seus próprios ramos genealógicos e estudiosos sobre o assunto. Sobretudo, será de grande importância para a História de Minas e do Brasil, na medida em que essas famílias deram ao nosso país elementos de realce na vida pública, artística, cultural, etc. Durante todos estes longos anos de pesquisas, que dediquei e dedico as Famílias Rabelo, Vasconcelos, Gonçalves da Costa e outras, sejam através de batistérios paroquiais, arquivos públicos, prefeituras e cartórios, tomando depoimento de várias pessoas, principalmente dos mais velhos, cujas memórias remontam a um passado mais distante, dando-me incentivo e informações importantes para a construção desta obra.
