Gabriel Paquette

Opis

A pioneering account of the links between Portugal and Brazil which survived despite the demise of the Portuguese Atlantic empire.

Recenzje

'Paquette has little to say about the military dimension of the independence process. Instead, he is interested in high politics and has written a book of great value, based on a dazzling number of published sources and research in thirty-four archives on both sides of the Atlantic. His work is especially strong in its discussion of the great variety of constitutional projects.' Wim Klooster, Latin American Research Review
