Vol. 4 No. 8 (2025): Rural issues under discussion

The Brazilian rural universe is the central theme of this dossier. Academic production in recent decades, driven by the expansion of postgraduate programs, has stimulated new analyses that have reevaluated the role of the peasantry and/or the free poor, freedmen, and enslaved people in Brazilian social formation. Thus, when we invited historians to contribute their reflections on the theme, we sought to bring together studies on relevant aspects of the rural universe, and our peers responded. We hope that reading this edition will contribute to the historiography of the rural universe, opening new windows of investigation in various parts of the country. Enjoy your reading.
