A Lucta Civil Brazileira e o Sebastianismo Portuguez

A Lucta Civil Brazileira e o Sebastianismo Portuguez by José Soares da Cunha e Costa delivers a vivid, polemical account of late 19th‑century clashes between republicanism and monarchism across Brazil and Portugal. Written by a Porto lawyer and republican journalist in 1894, the book situates the 1893 naval revolt in Brazil and the surprising support it received from Portuguese sebastianist currents within a wider campaign of propaganda, press manipulation, and transatlantic political maneuvering. Part history, part political commentary, Cunha e Costa examines how monarchic newspapers, émigré networks and poorly informed democratic outlets shaped public opinion and sought to influence emerging republican institutions. Themes of national identity, diasporic loyalty, the power of the press, and the fragility of new republics run throughout, offering contemporary readers insight into the ideological battles that followed Brazil’s 1889 republican proclamation. A Lucta Civil Brazileira e o Sebastianismo Portuguez is ideal for listeners of history and politics audiobooks, students of Iberian and Latin American political movements, and anyone interested in media, propaganda, and the transnational roots of 19th‑century political conflict.
