Native Brazil: Beyond the Convert and the Cannibal, 1500-1900 (Dialogos) by Hal Langfur
Requirements: PDF Reader, 5.5MB
Overview: The earliest European accounts of Brazil’s indigenous inhabitants focused on the natives’ startling appearance and conduct–especially their nakedness and cannibalistic rituals–and on the process of converting them to clothed, docile Christian vassals.
This volume contributes to the unfinished task of moving beyond such polarities and dispelling the stereotypes they fostered, which have impeded scholars’ ability to make sense of Brazil’s rich indigenous past.
