Frontiers of Citizenship is an engagingly-written, innovative
history of Brazil's black and indigenous people that redefines our
understanding of slavery, citizenship, and the origins of Brazil's
'racial democracy'. Through groundbreaking archival research that
brings the stories of slaves, Indians, and settlers to life, Yuko
Miki challenges the widespread idea that Brazilian Indians
'disappeared' during the colonial era, paving the way for the birth
of Latin America's largest black nation. Focusing on the
postcolonial settlement of the Atlantic frontier and Rio de
Janeiro, Miki argues that the exclusion and inequality of
indigenous and African-descended people became embedded in the very
construction of Brazil's remarkably inclusive nationhood. She
demonstrates that to understand the full scope of central themes in
Latin American history - race and national identity, unequal
citizenship, popular politics, and slavery and abolition - one must
engage the histories of both the African diaspora and the
indigenous Americas.
