42. Brazil - BRAZZIL - Thomas Skidmores Scans Five Centuries Of Brazil on key themes that dominate Brazilian colonial history and help explain Brazil today as we shall see, in unpredictable ways in brazilian history. http://www.brazzillog.com/pages/blamar99.htm

web brazzil.com Brazzil March 1999 History A Country Is Born Any explanation of Portugal's historic role in the Americas must begin with the link between the crown and overseas exploration. The discovery of Brazil fits squarely into that relationship. Birth and Growth of Colonial Brazil: 1500-1750 Thomas E. Skidmore The focus of this chapter is on key themes that dominate Brazilian colonial history and help explain Brazil today: · Portuguese origins · Contact and clash with indigenous peoples · Forced importation of millions of African slaves · Creation of a multiracial society · Consolidation and expansion of Portuguese-ruled territory · Establishment of an export-based economy · Beginnings of an independent Brazilian cultural and political consciousness A brief overview of Brazil's current scale, climate, and geography provides the context for the story. The Country the Portuguese Created in the New World Present-day Brazil covers 3,286,488 square miles. It extends for almost 2,700 miles from north to south, and roughly the same distance from east to west. By the 1991 census it numbered 146.8 million inhabitants, 52 percent white, 42 percent mulatto, 5 percent black, 0.4 percent Asian, and 0.2 percent Indian. As we shall see, these racial categorizations are much less rigid than in the United States. And Brazil boasts virtually every mineral needed for a modern industrial economy, with the conspicuous exceptions of coal and petroleum (although offshore wells are now helping to produce 60 percent of domestic needs).

Brazilian History index A little about of Brazilian history The Brazilian Indians never developed a centralized civilization like the Inca or Maya did, and left very little evidence for archaeologists to study: some pottery, shell mounds and skeletons. The Indian population was quite diverse and there were an estimated two to five million living in the territory that is now Brazil when the Portuguese first arrived. Today, there are fewer than 200,000 Brazilian Indians, most of them in the hidden jungles of the Brazilian interior. In 1500 dc, Pedro Alvares Cabral set sail from Lisbon, ostensibly for India, and arrived on the Brazilian coast by "accident". Some historians say it was his intended destination all along, and it's true that his 'discovery' was reported to the king in such matter-of-fact terms that it seems that the existence of Brazil was already well-known to mariners. In 1531, King João III of Portugal sent the first settlers to Brazil and, in 1534, fearing the ambitions of other European countries, he divided the coast into 12 hereditary captaincies, which were given to friends of the Crown. The colonists soon discovered that the land and climate were ideal for growing sugar cane, solving the prodigious labor requirements by enslaving the Indian population. The capture and sale of slaves almost became Brazil's most lucrative trade, and was dominated by the bandeirantes, men from São Paulo born of Indian mothers and Portuguese fathers. They hunted the Indians into the interior, and by the mid-1600s had reached the peaks of the Peruvian Andes. Their exploits, more than any treaty, secured the huge interior of South America for Portuguese Brazil.

Brazilian History A little about of Brazilian history In 1807, Napoleon's army marched on Lisbon. Two days before the invasion, the Portuguese Prince Regent set sail for Brazil. On arrival, he made Rio de Janeiro the capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarve; Brazil became the only New World colony to serve as the seat of a European monarch. In 1822 the Prince Regent's son, who had been left behind to rule the colony when his father returned to Portugal, pulled out his sword and yelled the battle cry "Independência ou morte!" (independence or death). Portugal was too weak to fight its favorite son, so Brazil became an independent empire without spilling a drop of blood. During the 19th century, coffee replaced sugar as Brazil's major export. At first, the coffee plantations used slave labor, but with the abolition of slavery in 1888 thousands of European immigrants, mostly Italians, poured in to work on the coffee estates, called "fazendas". In 1889, a military coup, supported by the coffee aristocracy, toppled the Brazilian Empire, and for the next 40 years

ADMINISTRATIVIA ENERO - JUNIO 2001 New Approaches to Brazilian Studies Busca en E.I.A.L.: Challenging National Heroes and Myths: Male Homosexuality and Brazilian History JAMES N. GREEN California State University, Long Beach For many foreign observers, from Buenos Aires to San Francisco and Paris, Brazil is a tropical paradise where uninhibited and licentious Brazilian homosexuals are free to express sensuality, sexuality, or camp. Lenten Mardi Gras festivities have come to represent an alleged cultural and social toleration for homosexuality and bisexuality in that country Apparent permissiveness during Carnival, so the stereotype goes, symbolizes a sexual and social regime that unabashedly accepts fluid sexual identity, including male-to-male sexuality When Carnival costumes have been cast off and life returns to normalcy, a somewhat different picture regarding the acceptance and toleration of homosexuality in Brazil emerges. A May 1993 poll that interviewed a cross section of 2,000 Brazilian men and women revealed persistent anxiety over homosexuality. While fifty percent confirmed that they had daily contact with homosexuals at work, in their neighborhood, or in bars and clubs which they frequent, 56 percent admitted that they would change their behavior towards a colleague if they discovered he or she were homosexual. One in five would drop all contact with the person. Thirty-six percent would not employ a homosexual, even if he or she were the best qualified for the position. And, of those interviewed, seventy-nine percent would not accept their son going out with a gay friend

Unit Three: Studying African through the Humanities Module Fifteen: Africa and the World Student's Edition Activity Three Africans in Brazil In this activity, you will read about Africans in Brazil. Several questions and activities follow the reading. How did they get to Brazil? Brazil's population includes the largest number of people of African descent in the entire Western Hemisphere. How did Africans get to Brazil, a country in South America ? As in Mexico and India, in Brazil, Africans were transported to the country as slaves. Here, slavery lasted longer than in any other country in the New World. When the Portuguese arrived in Brazil in 1500, 2 - 5 million indigenous Brazilians were living in the territory. To learn more about Portuguese colonization, click here . The Indians and the Portuguese battled for land, and the Indians resisted against the Portuguese as they tried to enslave them. The growing Portuguese presence in Brazil after 1530 brought with it more disease and caused an increase in the number of slave raids. Many of the Indians were killed and many others were forced to migrate into the interior of the country. What caused more Portuguese to come to Brazil around 1530? The Portuguese began to cultivate sugar and settle on the east coast of Brazil. The growing number of sugar plantations demanded more workers, and the Indian population had become smaller because many Indians had died. To deal with this labor shortage, the Portuguese began to import slaves from Africa into Brazil to work on the plantations.
