Os deputados brasileiros nas Côrtes Geraes de 1821

Os deputados brasileiros nas Côrtes Geraes de 1821 by Manuel Emílio Gomes de Carvalho offers a vivid, deeply researched portrait of the Brazilian deputies who shaped Portugal’s Cortes in a pivotal year. Blending political narrative with social and economic context, this history traces the aftermath of the 1820 Portuguese Revolution, the crisis of royal authority, and the economic strains—exacerbated by the French invasions and the opening of Brazilian ports—that propelled debates about representation and constitutional order. Carvalho examines the motives, speeches, and alignments of Brazil’s representatives in the Cortes Gerais of 1821, situating their actions within broader themes of colonial dependence, emerging liberal constitutionalism, and the tensions between metropolis and colony. Drawing on contemporary documents and careful analysis, the book illuminates how parliamentary contestation in Lisbon reflected—and helped shape—the struggles over sovereignty, rights, and national identity in early 19th-century Brazil. Ideal for listeners of history, political biography, and Latin American studies, this audiobook is a must for scholars, students, and curious readers who want a clear, authoritative account of the people and politics behind a turning point in Portuguese-Brazilian relations.
