Cultura e opulência do Brasil por suas drogas e minas
“por este livro saberão o muito que custam as culturas do açúcar, tabaco e ouro, que são mais doces de possuir no Reino que de cavar no Brasil.” Cultura e Opulência do Brasil, de André João Antonil, pseudônimo do jesuíta italiano João Antônio Adreoni, foi publicado em 1711, sendo recolhido por ordem de D. João V por ser considerado inconveniente para a Coroa Portuguesa que proibiu-o e confiscou os seus exemplares. Os poucos que restaram, tornaram-se raridades bibliográficas. Essencial para a compreensão da vida social e econômica do Brasil Colônia, só viria à luz em 1837, quando foi integralmente reeditada, no Rio de Janeiro. A partir de então, Cultura e opulência do ...

Sugar Plantations in the Formation of Brazilian Society
Colonial Brazil was a multiracial society, profoundly influenced by slavery and the plantation system. This study examines the history of the sugar economy and the peculiar development of plantation society over a three hundred year period in Bahia, a major sugar-plantation zone and an important terminus of the Atlantic slave trade.

Early Brazil
Early Brazil presents a collection of original sources, many published for the first time in English and some never before published in any language, that illustrates the process of conquest, colonization, and settlement in Brazil. The volume emphasizes the actions and interactions of the indigenous peoples, Portuguese, and Africans in the formation of the first extensive plantation colony based on slavery in the Americas, and it also includes documents that reveal the political, social, religious, and economic life of the colony. Original documents on early Brazilian history are difficult to find in English, and this collection will serve the interests of undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, who seek to make comparisons or to understand the history of Portuguese expansion.
Sugar and Society in China
In this study Sucheta Mazumdar offers an answer to the fundamental question of why China, universally acknowledged as one of the most developed economies in the world throughout the mid-18th century, paused in this development process in the 19th century. Focusing on cane-sugar production, domestic and international trade, technology, and the history of consumption for over 1000 years as a means of framing the larger questions, the author shows that the economy of late imperial China was not stagnant, nor was the state suppressing trade: indeed China was integrated into the world market well before the Opium War. However, the trajectory of development did not transform the social organization of production or set in motion sustained economic growth.
Tropical Babylons
The idea that sugar, plantations, slavery, and capitalism were all present at the birth of the Atlantic world has long dominated scholarly thinking. In nine original essays by a multinational group of top scholars, Tropical Babylons re-evaluates this so-called "sugar revolution." The most comprehensive comparative study to date of early Atlantic sugar economies, this collection presents a revisionist examination of the origins of society and economy in the Atlantic world. Focusing on areas colonized by Spain and Portugal (before the emergence of the Caribbean sugar colonies of England, France, and Holland), these essays show that despite reliance on common knowledge and technology, there wer...
