Our approach focuses on the effects that large-scale, socio-economic processes (e.g. colonization, mercantilism, slavery, nation-building, free trade) have had on lives of everyday people, past and present, paying special attention to issues of race, gender, and material inequality. We examine the livelihoods and belief-systems of Amazonian Indians, African slave communities, urban slum dwellers, subsistence cultivators, and Japanese immigrants, looking at their contributions to Brazil's history and studying the national cultural that somehow make them all Brazilians.
