As memórias de Krzysztof Arciszewski : um polonês a serviço da Companhia das Índias Ocidentais no Brasil
As Memórias de Krzysztof Arciszewski possibilita ao público o acesso a uma fonte singular de informações e torna o nosso conhecimento sobre o Brasil holandês mais abrangente. Arciszewski foi recrutado pela Companhia das Índias Ocidentais, em 1629, e enviado ao Brasil como comandante das tropas que conquistaram a Vila de Olinda e o Recife, em 1630. Deixou um registro de quem participou da fundação e consolidação da colônia neerlandesa no Brasil entre os anos de 1630 e 1637. Em suas memórias, além de descrições detalhadas de aspectos administrativos, políticos, militares e geográficos das capitanias ocupadas – Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Itamaracá e Pernambuco –, trouxe seus conflitos individuais, escolhas e dilemas. As Memórias de Krzysztof Arciszewski constituem um documento de interesse para historiadores e amantes da História que se dedicam ao estudo da presença neerlandesa no Brasil e a temas relativos à história do Brasil Colonial e à expansão ultramarina europeia. O texto evidencia também antigos vínculos históricos do Brasil com os Países Baixos e a Polônia no século XVII.
After Palmares
In After Palmares, Marc A. Hertzman tells the rise, fall, and afterlives of Palmares, one of history’s largest and longest-lasting maroon societies. Forged during the seventeenth century by formerly enslaved Africans in what would become northeast Brazil, Palmares stood for a century, withstanding sustained attacks from two European powers. In 1695, colonial forces assassinated its most famous leader, Zumbi. Hertzman examines the remarkable ways that Palmares and its inhabitants lived on after Zumbi’s death, creating vivid portraits of those whose lives and voices scholars have often assumed are inaccessible. With an innovative approach to African languages, and paying close attention to place as well as African and diasporic spiritual beliefs, Hertzman reshapes our understanding of Palmares and Zumbi and advances a new framework for studying fugitive slave communities and marronage in the African diaspora.

Shaping the Stuart World, 1603 - 1714
"Shaping the Stuart World" examines the wide-ranging European interaction inherent in British expansion and discovers a multi-dimensional, multi-national Atlantic as a result. Spain, Sweden, and especially the Netherlands emerge as central to English and Scottish endeavors overseas and to the extremely diverse populations and cultures that eventually came to be known as British North America.
Brazil Imagined
The first comprehensive cultural history of Brazil to be written in English, Brazil Imagined: 1500 to the Present captures the role of the artistic imaginary in shaping Brazil's national identity. Analyzing representations of Brazil throughout the world, this ambitious survey demonstrates the ways in which life in one of the world's largest nations has been conceived and revised in visual arts, literature, film, and a variety of other media. Beginning with the first explorations of Brazil by the Portuguese, Darlene J. Sadlier incorporates extensive source material, including paintings, historiographies, letters, poetry, novels, architecture, and mass media to trace the nation's shifting sense of its own history. Topics include the oscillating themes of Edenic and cannibal encounters, Dutch representations of Brazil, regal constructs, the literary imaginary, Modernist utopias, "good neighbor" protocols, and filmmakers' revolutionary and dystopian images of Brazil. A magnificent panoramic study of race, imperialism, natural resources, and other themes in the Brazilian experience, this landmark work is a boon to the field.
Amsterdam's Atlantic
In 1624 the Dutch West India Company established the colony of Brazil. Only thirty years later, the Dutch Republic handed over the colony to Portugal, never to return to the South Atlantic. Because Dutch Brazil was the first sustained Protestant colony in Iberian America, the events there became major news in early modern Europe and shaped a lively print culture. In Amsterdam's Atlantic, historian Michiel van Groesen shows how the rise and tumultuous fall of Dutch Brazil marked the emergence of a "public Atlantic" centered around Holland's capital city. Amsterdam served as Europe's main hub for news from the Atlantic world, and breaking reports out of Brazil generated great excitement in the...
