A Parisian in Brazil
This virtually unknown, insightful account by a highly intelligent, observant and forthright Frenchwoman of her decade-long stay in Brazil during the 1850s provides a remarkable firsthand view of a slaveocrat society. In an effort to improve their family's fortune, enterprising and highspirited young Parisian AdFle Toussaint-Samson traveled with her husband from France to Brazil in the mid 1800s. While there, she wrote of her experiences, painting a vivid and detailed portrait of the reality of slavery, gender relations, and daily life in mid-nineteenth century Brazil. This eminently readable primary document provides a firsthand view of a slaveholding society, describing both men and women, slave and free, rich and poor. Well written and lively, A Parisian in Brazil is an excellent resource for courses on Latin America, women in Latin America, and Brazilian history.
Women through Women's Eyes
The nineteenth century was a period of peak popularity for travel to Latin America, where a new political independence was accompanied by loosened travel restrictions. Such expeditions resulted in numerous travel accounts, most by men. However, because this period was a time of significant change and exploration, a small but growing minority of female voyagers also portrayed the people and places that they encountered. Women through Women's Eyes draws from ten insightful accounts by female visitors to Latin America in the nineteenth century. These firsthand tales bring a number of Latin American women into focus: nuns, market women, plantation workers, the wives and daughters of landowners a...

The Rio de Janeiro Reader
Spanning a period of over 450 years, The Rio de Janeiro Reader traces the history, culture, and politics of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, through the voices, images, and experiences of those who have made the city's history. It outlines Rio's transformation from a hardscrabble colonial outpost and strategic port into an economic, cultural, and entertainment capital of the modern world. The volume contains a wealth of primary sources, many of which appear here in English for the first time. A mix of government documents, lyrics, journalism, speeches, ephemera, poems, maps, engravings, photographs, and other sources capture everything from the fantastical impressions of the first European arrivals to the complaints about roving capoeira gangs, and from sobering eyewitness accounts of slavery's brutality to the glitz of Copacabana. The definitive English-language resource on the city, The Rio de Janeiro Reader presents the "Marvelous City" in all its complexity, importance, and intrigue.
As Geógrafas na História do Pensamento Geográfico
Desconhecemos e pouco debatemos o papel de muitas mulheres que nos antecederam. Essa condicionalidade nos ajuda a compreender como noções de poder, lugar do conhecimento, erudição e ciência estão inter-relacionados ao colonialismo, patriarcado, capitalismo, gênero e raça, ainda que esse debate não seja o destaque dessa obra (está implícito). Outros campos do conhecimento como a sociologia, filosofia e a história já começaram a desenvolver programas de investigação relativos à presença das mulheres. É importante que nós, geógrafas e geógrafos, também busquemos colocá-las em nossas agendas, almejando ir além das eventualidades das lembranças pontuais. Tal propósito n...
Schottisch à Brasileira
Este trabalho visa compreender a schottisch, seja como dança, seja como música, na cultura brasileira da segunda metade do século XIX. São analisadas fontes bibliográficas que tratam desse tema e é apresentada a sua contextualização histórico-social. O trabalho se desenvolveu por meio da busca em acervos de partituras e da pesquisa em jornais da época, com suas crônicas, propagandas de bailes, concertos e partituras à venda. Isso acarretou a identificação de vários sujeitos, anônimos ou não, entre músicos, dançarinos, políticos e empresários que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da schottisch no Brasil, desde a sua chegada ao ambiente aristocrático, em 1850, até se ...
