  • Description: The history of modern Brazil is always interpreted around a central question: the cattle breeding in the Sao Francisco valley, the relationship between slaves & masters, the structures of dependence generated by merchant capitalism, the bureaucratic privileges or the stakes of the gold economy at the 18th century. New researches on the Atlantic slave trade, on the control of Indians, on internal & international migrations, allow us to think on an interpretative axis of a broader range: the transformations of labor in colonial or national context until the middle of the 19th century. These transformations are held inside a larger space that conditions Portuguese America & Brazil from 1550 to 1850: the South Atlantic. Consequently, the historical periodization has another significance. The rupture with the colonial order occurs in 1850, at the end of the slave trade, & not in 1808 (the opening of the ports & arrival of the Portuguese Court in Rio de Janeiro) or in 1822, with the independence of Brazil.
