This collection of sixteen essays examines the impact of Brazilian trends, institutions, culture, and religion on the world through accelerating processes of globalization.

AbstractExplanations of the Abolitionist movement's success in Brazil (1888) have, since the 1960s and 1970s, emphasised the movement's material context, its class nature, and the agency of the captives. These analyses have misunderstood and gradually ignored the movement's formal political history. Even the central role of urban political mobilisation is generally neglected; when it is addressed, it is crippled by lack of informed analysis of its articulation with formal politics and political history. It is time to recover the relationship between Afro-Brazilian agency and the politics of the elite. In this article this is illustrated by analysing two conjunctures critical to the Abolitionist movement: the rise and fall of the reformist Dantas cabinet in 1884–85, and the relationship between the reactionary Cotegipe cabinet (1885–88), the radicalisation of the movement, and the desperate reformism that led to the Golden Law of 13 May 1888.

Os partidos se originaram de facções da Câmara lideradas por oradores que representavam oligarquias rurais e comerciais, bem como grupos urbanos mobilizados. Suas origens, evidentes na Assembléia Constituinte de 1823, consolidaram-se na "oposição liberal" de 1826-31. A maioria moderada dominou os primeiros anos da Regência, mas dividiu-se a respeito do aprofundamento da reforma liberal. Um movimento de reação levou a um novo partido majoritário em 1837, privilegiando um estado forte equilibrado com parlamento e gabinete representativos. Esse partido, posteriormente conhecido como os Conservadores, enfrentou uma oposição, depois conhecida como os Liberais que, embora compartilhassem algumas crenças liberais, inicialmente compuseram uma aliança de ocasião. Após assumir o poder, o imperador, que se mostrou desconfiado das lealdades e ambições partidárias, passou a dominar progressivamente o gabinete, aumentando seu poder, limitando os partidos e o parlamento e aumentando a autonomia do Estado, como se percebe na Conciliação e em sua herdeira, a Liga Progressista. Essas tensões explicam o significado da crise política de 1868, da Lei do Ventre Livre de 1871 e do legado de ceticismo para com o governo representativo que se seguiu. ; The parties derived from Chamber factions, led by orators representing the planting and commercial oligarchies and mobilized urban groups. The antecedents, clear in the 1823 Constituent Assembly, crystallize in the "liberal opposition" of 1826-31. The moderate majority dominated the first years of the Regency, but divided over more radical liberal reform. A reactionary movement led to a new majority party in 1837, emphasizing a strong state balanced by a representative parliament and cabinet. This party, eventually known as the Conservatives, faced an opposition, eventually known as the Liberals, who, while sharing some liberal beliefs, initially comprised an alliance of opportunity. After the emperor took power, he proved suspicious of partisan loyalties and ambitions, and increasingly dominated the cabinet, enhancing its power, undercutting the parties and parliament, and increasing state autonomy, as demonstrated in the Conciliação and its heir, the Liga Progressista. These tensions explain the meaning of the political crises of 1868 and the 1871 Lei de Ventre Livre and the legacy of cynicism over representative government which followed.
