    Extractions: Course Description afro-descendentes make up the absolute majority. Bahia's capital city, Salvador, is commonly known as the most "African" city of the Americas. To the south, in Rio de Janeiro, the Afro-Brazilian presence marks the special interplay between racial, cultural, and national claims to a sense of Brazilianness. At the crossroads of the long histories of transatlantic and internal settlement, the Atlantic Slave Trade, cyclical regional economies, ra negro mulata morena pardo ; enslaved and free; afro-descendente ; and simply brasileiro/brasileira —are key historical actors, Salvador and Rio are privileged cities in Brazil's place in African diaspora. Contemporary Salvador is a living museum of African culture in the Americas, where African "survivals"—old and new—are part of the fabric of daily life. Rio—the Marvelous City—is a "stage" in which blackness is performed for varied audiences. Of course, recent debates in historical anthropology and cultural studies suggest that many of the so-called African cultural "traditions" found in Salvador, are, in fact manifestations of hybridized, multicultural, and polycentric black Atlantic culture. Rio's blackness is just as much fantasia (the Portuguese word for flight-of-fancy and costume) as reality. One of the course's primary objectives, then, will be to identify and disentangle the African, the Brazilian, and the Atlantic; the fact and fiction of contemporary Black Brazil.

    Extractions: Brazilian History Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral discovered Brazil in 1500. From then on, various export cycles dominated Brazil's economic and cultural development. The first of these cycles was based on the exportation of brazilwood, used to make dyes and paints. During the 17th century, Brazil became the world's largest producer of sugar. In this period, a large number of African slaves were brought to Brazil to work in the sugar cane plantations. Gold and diamonds eventually replaced sugar as the country's major export product. By the second half of the 19th century, Brazil was deep in a new cycle with coffee as the major export. Today, coffee is still one of Brazil's major sources of income. The late 19th-century rubber boom also brought prosperity and development to the north of Brazil, previously ignored by the international economy. When Napoleon invaded Portugal in the early 1800's, Dom Jo“o VI King of Portugal , fled to Brazil where the Portuguese court continued to run the empire. Ports were opened to international (mostly British) commerce, and the colony grew substantially. In 1789, one of Brazil's first movements for independence from Portugal was crushed. Its hero

    Extractions: "Modern Brazilian History," is exactly what the name suggests: a comprehensive history of Brazil over the last 150 years. Although there were no official prerequisites, many students felt that prior studies in Portuguese or Brazilian studies proved useful. Professor Skidmore received good reviews. Typically, students found him to be informed and helpful, although some students thought his lecture style was rather dry. Some students expressed annoyance at his refusal to encourage or promote discussion in a class of thirteen students, but for the most part his lectures were well-received. Although some students complained about his tendency to go off on tangents, other students praised him for this tendency which, they thought demonstrated flexibility in the lectures. The workload for this class was described as being fairly light. Although a fair amount of reading was required, the written requirements2 five page papers, 1 ten page paper and a finalwere described as reasonable. The class atmosphere was fairly relaxed, although the discussions were fairly restrained.

    Extractions: THE FASHIONING OF A REVOLUTIONARY TRADITION The invention of a tradition, in this case the invention of a tradition in which the French Revolution was cast as deeply imbedded in Brazilian history, occurs because of the power of language and symbols to form ideas, which, in turn, can be used as a resource in the mobilization of political power. Various images of the past are repeated in such a way that they shape a popular understanding of the present that can be grasped without serious reflection. As Patrick Hutton argued, "ultimately the problem of history is a problem of commemoration, that is, of identifying and inventorying those events, ideas, or personalities chosen by the power brokers of an earlier [and the present] age for remembrance." The fabrication of the legacy of the French Revolution in Brazilian History depended upon a specific reading of the French Revolution and its significance. The thrust of this reading was ironically commensurate with that of many French historians who wanted to forget the Revolution . In short, it depended upon a history of the revolution that largely focused upon the way in which the events that transpired in 1789 ended the Old Regime. Very few of the commemorative histories of the French Revolution published in popular Brazilian literature in 1989 included much about the

    Extractions: History of Brazil Series. Colonial Brazil The discovery of Brazil was preceded by a series of treaties between the kings of Spain and Portugal, the last of them is the Treaty of Tordesilhas, signed in 1494, creating the Tordesilhas Meridian, that divided the world between that two kingdoms. Every land discovered or to be discovered at east of that meridian was property of Portugal, and the land discovered or to be discovered at west of that meridian was property of Spain.

Empire of Brazil After its independence from Portuguese on September 7, 1822, Brazil became an independent monarchy, the Brazilian Empire , which lasted until the establishment of the Republican government on November 15, 1889. The seeds of the Brazilian Empire may have been planted in 1808, when the French troops of Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Portugal, and king João VI, who was governing in place of his mother, Dona Maria I, ordered the transfer of the royal court to Brazil. The former colony then became part of the United Kingdom of Portugal and Algarve (1815), and obtained the right of having reppresentatives at the Portuguese Constitutional Court.

Distinguished Argentine and Brazilian historians met to exchange views on the basis of papers addressing the various fields in which the two countries’ present historical process has developed.

Unlike the Incas or Mayas, Brazilian Indians did not develop an advanced civilisation, leaving little for archaeologists to discover. The population consisted of numerous tribes, the largest of which was the Tupi. Today, many mountains and rivers have Tupi names. The population, however, has decreased from an estimated 2 million to 200 thousand, and most live deep in the jungle. EARLY COLONISATION Most of these explorers were born of an indian mother and Portuguese father. They knew both how to survive and how to use weapons. With these skills they crossed the immense country plundering Indian villages. By the mid-1600s they had traversed the interior as far as the peaks of the Peruvian Andes and the lowlands of the Amazon forest. More than any treaty, these exploits secured the huge country for the Portuguese Crown.

    Extractions: redirect Template:BrazilianHistory The history of Brazil begins with the arrival of the first Native Americans , over 8,000 years ago, into the present territory of that nation. By 1500, when the Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral reached the Brazilian coast, all parts of those lands were inhabited by semi-nomadic tribes, who subsisted on a combination of fishing, hunting, gathering, and agriculture. Tropic of Capricorn to the centuries, Brazil was a colony of Portugal, exploited mainly for brazilwood at first, and later for sugarcane agriculture. During this period most indians were exterminated, pushed out of the way or assimilated, and large numbers of African slaves were brough in. On September 22 , the country declared its independence of Portugal and became a constitututional monarchy, the Empire of Brazil . A military coup in established a republican government. The country has been nominally a democratic republic ever since, except for three periods of overt dictatoship ( , and Through most of its independent history, the country's politics was dominated by agrarian oligarchies, at all levels of government. Their influence was lessened (but by no means abolished) after the revolution of
