Focusing on social, cultural, and racial relations, it challenges standard depictions of the occupation of Portuguese America&#8217;s vast interior, while situating its frontier history in the broader context of the Americas and the Atlantic world. The author argues that the key to understanding the colony&#8217;s internal consolidation, ignored and misconstrued by scholars fixed on coastal events and export-led development, resides in the incompatible ways in which Luso-Brazilians, Afro-Brazilians, and seminomadic indigenous people accused of cannibalism sought to territorialize their distinctive societies. He demonstrates that cultural conflict on the frontier constituted defining characteristics of Brazil&#8217;s transition from colony to independent nation, as well as its relationship to a wider world. The study moves Brazil to a prominent place in our understanding of the hemispheric sweep of internal colonization in the Americas. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0804763380?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0804763380\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0804751803?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0804751803\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Langfur, Hal. <em>The Forbidden Lands: Colonial Identity, Frontier Violence, and the Persistence of Brazil&#8217;s Eastern Indians, 1750-1830<\/em>.
