In an activity dominated by the State (either the Empire or the Republic), researcher Brizuela (b. Argentina) recuperates the history of Brazil in the through a collection of period intimate, scientific and surprising images of idyllic and exotic landscapes, palaces, slavery and historic ruins. Portuguese translation of "Photography and Empire: Landscape for modern Brazil" (2012). Author Natalia Brizuela is Associate Professor of Latin American literatures and cultures at Berkeley University.
