Focusing on the inheritance rights of people born outside wedlock,
this book explores the legal evolution of their rights as Brazil
moved from colony to nation. It offers a unique counterpoint to the
conventional political history of the Brazilian Empire, which
ignores important legal change involving family and inheritance
law. The book also provides a new and complementary approach to
recent scholarship on the family in nineteenth-century Brazil by
using that research as a starting point for examining illegitimacy,
marriage, and concubinage from the neglected perspective of legal
change. The author's exhaustive study of parliamentary debates
reveals how the private sphere of the family acquired fundamental
significance in the public discourse of Brazil's imperial
legislators. The concluding theme of the book treats the
reactionary shift away from liberal reform, the result of the
"scandal in the courtroom" that the reform generated.
