"Financing Slave Coffee Plantations in Imperial Brazil"
Gabriel Sterman, WIGH Global Fellow; PhD Candidate in History, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
This research examines how Brazil's boom in coffee production between 1831-1850 happened during a period the traditional historiography has marked as economically "backward." Sterman argues that this view lacks a systemic approach and makes the connection between the Brazillian coffee plantations, United States firms, British banks, slave trading, and the Imperial State.
