BOXER (C.R.). THE Golden age of Brazil 1695-1750. Los Angeles. 1969. - BOXER (C.R.) THE Golden age of Brazil 1695-1750 . Growing Pains of a Colonial Society. Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1969. XIV, 444 pp.: il.; 200 mm. Third edition, published in 1969 by the University of California Press, in cooperation with the Dom Pedro II Society for Historical Studies (Rio de Janeiro). The work was first published in 1962. This study examines half a century of colonial Brazilian life, from the gold discoveries in Minas Gerais that made the colony a pillar of the Portuguese Atlantic world and transformed its economy, society, and political order. It explores the interdependence between Brazil and the slave markets of the West African coast, whose labor sustained sugar and tobacco production, and situates the colony within the broader Atlantic currents, from African slave routes to European wars. Hence the subtitle, ”Growing Pains of a Colonial Society .” Illustrated with portraits and a map, the volume includes notes (pp. 375-418), a bibliography (pp. 419-433), and an index. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
