Joaquim Nabuco

Focusing on Joaquim Nabuco's political philosophy during Brazil's Belle Epoque, the book explores his transition from leading the abolitionist movement to advocating for the monarchy after slavery's end in 1888. It delves into his liberal monarchist beliefs and strategies for preserving the monarchy against republicanism. The study highlights Nabuco's challenges to the early Republic and his influence on Brazil's state roles, ultimately emphasizing his significant role in shaping the nation's identity in the late 19th century.
