The Family in Bahia, Brazil, 1870-1945
This history of the Brazilian family in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries studies the relationship between the informal institution of the family and such formal social institutions as medicine, the law, organized politics, and the church. The author focuses primarily on middle- and upper-class families (for whom adequate documentation is available) and shows the change from a patriarchal model of the family to one that was more conjugal and nuclear, a change necessitated by an insecure and urbanizing economy. Nevertheless, Bahian families maintained many traditional values and traditional kin networks. The author examines the daily life and dynamics of households, including what is kno...
Vale of Tears
The massacre of Canudos In 1897 is a pivotal episode in Brazilian social history. Looking at the event through the eyes of the inhabitants, Levine challenges traditional interpretations and gives weight to the fact that most of the Canudenses were of mixed-raced descent and were thus perceived as opponents to progress and civilization. In 1897 Brazilian military forces destroyed the millenarian settlement of Canudos, murdering as many as 35,000 pious rural folk who had taken refuge in the remote northeast backlands of Brazil. Fictionalized in Mario Vargas Llosa's acclaimed novel, War at the End of the World, Canudos is a pivotal episode in Brazilian social history. When looked at through the...
A Place in Politics
A Place in Politics is a thorough reinterpretation of the politics and political culture of the Brazilian state of São Paulo between the 1890s and the 1930s. The world’s foremost coffee-producing region from the outset of this period and home to more than six million people by 1930, São Paulo was an economic and demographic giant. In an era marked by political conflict and dramatic social and cultural change in Brazil, nowhere were the conflicts as intense or changes more dramatic than in São Paulo. The southeastern state was the site of the country’s most important political developments, from the contested presidential campaign of 1909–10 to the massive military revolt of 1924. Dr...

Nation gegen Hinterland
Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Friedrich-Meinecke-Preis und mit dem Ernst-Reuter-Preis der Freien Universit�t Berlin ausgezeichnet. Im November 1896 zogen einige Dutzend Polizisten ins Hinterland des Nordostens von Brasilien, um aufs�ssige Bauern zur R�son zu bringen. Ein halbes Jahr sp�ter beendeten 10.000 Soldaten vor dem Lehmhuettendorf Canudos den Krieg mit einem Massaker. Die Arbeit von Dawid Danilo Bartelt ist mehr als eine der seltenen deutschen Studien zu einem Schluesselereignis der lateinamerikanischen Geschichte. Sie ist eine der fundiertesten historiographischen Arbeiten zu Canudos ueberhaupt. Bartelt stellt nicht wie ueblich das milit�rische Ereignis oder die religi�se Bew...
