CONQUERORS AND NEGOTIATORS: STORIES OF ELITES IN THE ANCIENT REGIME IN THE TROPICS

CONQUERORS AND NEGOTIATORS brings together themes and issues discussed by the economic history group of the Graduate Program in Social History at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The book presents a collection of articles by historians on colonial dynamics. Portuguese America appears here as a network of economic, political, legal, and social relations, capable of articulating diverse societies and harboring autonomous powers and conflicting commercial interests.
