The Brazilian Amazon experienced, in the late 1830s, one of
Brazil's largest peasant and urban-poor insurrections, known as the
Cabanagem. Uniquely, rebels succeeded in controlling provincial
government and town councils for more than a year. In this first
book-length study in English, the rebellion is placed in the
context of late colonial and early national society and economy. It
compares the Cabanagem with contemporaneous Latin American peasant
rebellions and challenges to centralized authority in Brazil. Using
unpublished documentation, it reveals - contrary to other studies -
that insurgents were not seeking revolutionary change or separation
from the rest of Brazil. Rather, rebels wanted to promote their
vision of a newly independent nation and an end to exploitation by
a distant power. The Cabanagem is critical to understanding why the
Amazon came to be perceived as a land without history.
