Raízes do Privilégio: Mobilidade social no mundo ibérico do Antigo Regime

6 páginas

Following the international colloquium held at the Fluminense Federal University, in Rio de Janeiro, in June 2009, Raízes do Privilégio: Mobilidade social no mundo ibérico do Antigo Regime was published in 2011 by Civilização Brasileira. It is the third book produced by Companhia das Índias, an academic group created in 1998 and designed to bring together researchers from this university’s postgraduate program and their peers from other institutions of higher education in Brazil and abroad. As was the case with the previous two books, Raízes benefited from the collaboration of about twenty historians who had gathered together to discuss a common theme. Most of the researchers came from institutions in Rio de Janeiro, but there were also several participants from other Brazilian states, as well as foreign scholars who are conducting similar research into Iberian societies of the modern age in such countries as Argentina, Mexico, USA, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
