Alan Marcus brings to light important new information about the post-Civil War emigration of Americans to Brazil. He adds a major contribution to our knowledge of this significant period in our history. --Cyrus B. Dawsey, professor emeritus at Auburn University --Cyrus B. Dawsey Through a geographer's lens Marcus dissects the anatomy of this complex migration from its substrata of ideologies, religion, science, international trade, and Freemasonry to the power of Southern migrants' geographical imagination juxtaposed against the realities of Brazilian locales, agriculture, and racialized politics. --Laura Jarnagin Pang, associate professor emerita, Division of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines --Laura Jarnagin Pang In this intriguing historical geography, Marcus illuminates the little-known postbellum migration of American confederate veterans to Brazil. Rather than serving as a mere curiosity, the confederado experience highlights migration, agriculture, race, and nation-building in two giants of the Western Hemisphere. --Brian Godfrey, professor of geography at Vassar College--Brian Godfrey Alan Marcus tells a compelling story of migration, ranging from analysis of the confederado cemetery that brought a former U.S. president to tears, to a reinterpretation of commercial and ideological processes encouraging Southern families to move to Brazil. --Christian Brannstrom, professor of geography at Texas A&M University --Christian Brannstrom Author InformationAlan P.
