| Sumario: | Kraay traces the social, cultural, and political history of the Brazilian empire (1822-89) through the official and popular celebrations on the days of national festivity (holidays) instituted soon after independence in 1822. The focus is on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's largest city and national capital. As Latin America's only long-lasting monarchy, Brazil's civic ritual drew on many old-regime forms, but married them to modern elements such as the 1824 constitution. This book analyses the changing debate about the political institutions (independent empire, monarchy, and constitution) celebrated year after year. |
