O Brasil é uma nação complexa, ainda mais quando levamos em conta sua história violenta, sua multiplicidade étnica, cultural e linguística e sua improvável unidade territorial. Mas por que o Brasil continua a ser um só país, em vez de se fragmentar em vários? E, afinal, o que é, de fato, uma nação? Comprometido com o prazer do conhecimento, com o rigor do método científico e com a proposta de instigar o leitor a pensar de forma crítica e diferente, o professor de História da USP João Paulo Pimenta oferece nesta obra uma explicação das origens, da consolidação e de variações do processo histórico concreto da formação da nação brasileira.

Latin American Bureaucracy and the State Building Process (1780-1860)

The process of construction of national states had a decisive moment during the period of revolutions that spanned from the end of the eighteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century. Even if it was a generalized process throughout the Western world, the majority of social scientists that have analyzed it have based their theoretical models on the European and North American experiences. This volume pays particular attention to the historical experience of Latin America and accounts for its distinctive regional and national characteristics through the analysis of cases. It also evokes the existence of certain features of the process that historiography has not sufficiently taken into con...

Nationalism in the New World

Nationalism in the New World brings together work by scholars from the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Europe to discuss the common problem of how the nations of the Americas grappled with the basic questions of nationalism: Who are we? How do we imagine ourselves as a nation? Debates over the origins and meanings of nationalism have emerged at the forefront of the humanities and social sciences over the past two decades. However, these discussions have been mostly about nations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or Africa. In addition, their focus is usually on the violence spawned by ethnic and religious strains of nationalism, which have been largely absent in the Americas. The c...

The United States and the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the Americas, 1776-1867

An investigation of US participation in the transatlantic slave trade to the Americas, from the American Revolution to the Civil War While much of modern scholarship has focused on the American slave trade’s impact within the United States, considerably less has addressed its effects in other parts of the Americas. A rich analysis of a complex subject, this study draws on Portuguese, Brazilian, and Spanish primary documents—as well as English-language material—to shed new light on the changing behavior of slave traders and their networks, particularly in Brazil and Cuba. Slavery in these nations, as Marques shows, contributed to the mounting tensions that would ultimately lead to the U.S. Civil War. Taking a truly Atlantic perspective, Marques outlines the multiple forms of U.S. involvement in this traffic amid various legislation and shifting international relations, exploring the global processes that shaped the history of this participation.
