Rebellion on the Amazon : The Cabanagem, Race, and Popular Culture in the North of Brazil, 1798–1840

Omtale

The Brazilian Amazon experienced, in the late 1830s, one of Brazil's largest peasant insurrections, known as the Cabanagem, in which rebels succeeded in controlling provincial government for more than a year. Here, the rebellion is placed in the context of late colonial and early national society and economy.
