Brazilian History Brazil is only Latin American nation deriving its language and culture from Portugal. The native inhabitants mostly consisted of the nomadic Tupi-Guarani Indians. Adm. Pedro Alvares Cabral claimed the territory for Portugal in 1500 and brought back a type of wood containing valuable red dye, pau-barsil, from which the land received its name. Portugal began colonization in 1532 and made the area a royal colony in 1549. During the Napoleonic wars, King Joao VI, fearing the advancing French armies, fled the country in 1808 and set up his court in Rio de Janeiro. Joao was drawn home in 1820 by a revolution, leaving his son as regent. When Portugal sought to again reduce Brazil to colonial status, the prince declared Brazil's independence in Sept. of 1822, and became Pedro I, emperor of Brazil. Harassed by his parliament, Pedro I abdicated in 1831 in favor of his five years old son, who became emperor in 1840 as Pedro II. The son was a popular monarch, but discontent built up and, in 1889, following a military revolt, he had to abdicate. Although a republic was proclaimed, Brazil was under military dictatorships until a revolt permitted a gradual return to stability under civilian presidents. Back

African-Brazilian History and Culture in Salvador da Bahia Brazil January 6-24, 2003 Table of Contents Brazil Academic Program Program Cost Scholarships ... Questions? Salvador da Bahia, Brazil This course is intended to provide students with an intensive in-country study and exposure to African diasporic culture and language with particular emphasis on the city of Salvador da Bahia in the Northeast of Brazil. People of African descent constitute a near-majority of Brazil’s overall population and an absolute majority in the state of Bahia. In fact, there are more people of African descent in Brazil than in any other nation except Nigeria, and Salvador da Bahia is commonly known as the most "African" city of the Americas. In recognition of the cultural uniqueness of Salvador da Bahia, the United Nations has declared sections of the city to be World Heritage Sites. Reflecting a long history of transatlantic settlement, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and cyclical regional economies in which people of African descent—both enslaved and free—constitute the majority of the labor force, Salvador is city of the African Diaspora par excellence, where the vitality of African and African-American cultural expressions and social practices are omnipresent. Salvador da Bahia is almost a living museum of the ways in which African culture has developed and been transformed in the Americas. Of course, recent debates in historical anthropology and cultural studies suggest that many of the so-called "African cultural traditions" to be found in Salvador are, in fact manifestations of hybridized, multicultural, and polycentric Brazilian and Atlantic cultures. One of the course's primary objectives will be to identify and disentangle the African, national, and Atlantic roots of contemporary society in Salvador da Bahia.

Mas essa realidade, a poesia popular, não é fruto originário do sertão, do meio rude a que se acostumou a associar tal manifestação cultural (Diegues Jr, 1973: 05; 1975: 03-04).

The Napoleonic Wars (17991815)profoundly altered the course of brazilian history. Early in http://www.emayzine.com/lectures/HISTOR~6.htm

History of Brazil The Native American peoples who were the original inhabitants of what is now Brazil included the Arawak and Carib groups in the north, the of the east coast and the Amazon River valley, the Ge of eastern and southern Brazil, and the Pano in the west. For the most part these groups were essentially seminomadic peoples, who subsisted by hunting and gathering and simple agriculture. Those groups in the more remote areas of the interior maintained their traditional way of life until the late 20th century, when their existence was threatened by the advancing frontier. See Native Americans European Exploration and Early Settlement Line of Demarcation also reached the coast of present-day Brazil and formally claimed the surrounding region in the name of Portugal. The territory was named Terra da Vera Cruz (Portuguese for "Land of the True Cross"). An expedition under the command of the Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci was sent to Terra da Vera Cruz by the Portuguese government in 1501. In the course of his explorations Vespucci named many capes and bays, including a bay which he called Rio de Janeiro. He returned to Portugal with a cargo of brazilwood, and from that time forward Terra da Vera Cruz bore the name of the valuable wood Brazil. In 1530 the Portuguese king John III initiated a program of systematic Brazilian colonization. As a first step the king divided Brazil into 15 districts, or captaincies, and granted each of the districts, in perpetuity, to a person prominent at the Portuguese court. The grantees, known as
