Focusing on the period from 1840 to 1889, the author explores the
specific ways in which granting protection, official positions, and
other favors in exchange for political and personal loyalty worked
to benefit the interests of wealthy Brazilians. The book is based
principally on both the official and private correspondence of
politicians, judges and bureaucrats, using these materials to look
in depth at political practice. "Whatever the outcome of the
current crisis of Latin American scholarship, here is one book that
will not be swept into the dustbin of historiography ... This is a
masterful study: imaginatively conceived, solidly researched,
tightly reasoned, clearly and forcefully written. Graham's
conclusions will be challenged, but his work will endure."-The
American Historical Review.
