Movimentos nativistas em Pernambuco: Setembrizada e novembrada

A brief account, based on contemporary newspapers, of two inconsequential troop mutinies that took place in Recife in 1831. The participants, like unpaid and uneasy garrisons all over Brazil in the 1830s, seem to have been most concerned with corporal punishment, bad rations, and looting, but the author finds them at least partially motivated by anti-Portuguese nativist sentiments. Andrade tries to show how the suppression of these two uprisings helped prepare the way for the more serious absolutist rebellion of 1832—treated at greater length by the author in his earlier work, A Guerra dos Cabanas, to which this volume may be considered a footnote.
