Atlantic Encounters: Brazil, the Caribbean and Western Africa before 1900

Relations between Brazil, the Caribbean and Western Africa are studied from circa 1500 to the late 19th century, with an emphasis on the nature of the European Empires in Western Africa, Brazil, and the Caribbean, the impact of colonial rule and neo-colonialism, and the varied responses of indigenous societies to both developments.
