Vassouras: A Brazilian Coffee County, 1850-1900. The Roles of Planter and Slave in a Plantation Society Revised edition
Stanley J. Stein
Presents a social and economic study of the origins, apogee, and decline of coffee in the Parahyba Valley of South Central Brazil. This book shows how abolition, erosion, and bankruptcy transformed virgin forest into a wasteland of eroded hillsides and abandoned towns, of disillusioned planters and poverty-stricken black freedmen.
