Sommario/riassunto

Examines the development of the state, the nation, and the economy on the far western frontier of Brazil during the period of the Brazilian Empire. This book argues that the province of Goias, although physically in the center of Brazil, was effectively the far edge of the Empire, thanks to poverty and poor communications.
