Before Brasilia: Frontier Life in Central Brazil
In this talk, Mary Karasch discussed her decades-long research on frontier life in central Brazil using diverse sources in Brazil, Portugal, Austria, England and at the Library of Congress. The presentation covered the challenges to finding documents to write about the slaving frontier of Goiás where both indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans resisted enslavement.
