This is a biography of Isabel Orleans-Braganca, daughter of the last emperor of Brazil. At a time when the voices of women went mostly unheard, Orleans-Braganca was a skilled and vocal politician. She was also a determined abolitionist, committed to peacefully ending slavery in the country that first introduced slavery to America. Thrust into the political spotlight after the death of her two brothers and illness of her father, Orleans-Braganca became acting head of state just as revolution was sweeping the country. She soon found herself in a race to save the constitutional government and free the nation's slaves before a coup d'etat ended her time in power.

Having specialized in the South American country for most of his academic career, Barman (history, U. of British Columbia) here integrates gender studies into his concerns. He extracts copiously from Isabel's (1846-1921) letters and recollections within the framework of a female life cycle. In addition to showing how women have been shaped by and have lived within cultural, social, and economic structures created by men and predicated on female subordination and exploitation, he uses the princess' life to illuminate the interplay of gender and power in the 19th century.

The lives of six African children, ages nine to sixteen, were forever altered by the revolt aboard the Cuban schooner La Amistad in 1839. Like their adult companions, all were captured in Africa and illegally sold as slaves. In this fascinating revisionist history, Benjamin N. Lawrance reconstructs six entwined stories and brings them to the forefront of the Amistad conflict. Through eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children’s own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were inextricably interwoven by the historic drama, and casts new light on illegal nineteenth-century transatlantic slave smuggling.

“A detailed and moving picture of how the Habsburgs suffered under the Nazi regime…scrupulously sourced, well-written, and accessible.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) It was during five youthful years in Vienna that Adolf Hitler's obsession with the Habsburg Imperial family became the catalyst for his vendetta against a vanished empire, a dead archduke, and his royal orphans. That hatred drove Hitler's rise to power and led directly to the tragedy of the Second World War and the Holocaust. The royal orphans of Archduke Franz Ferdinand—offspring of an upstairs-downstairs marriage that scandalized the tradition-bound Habsburg Empire—came to personify to Adolf Hitler, and others, all that was wrong about modernity, the twentieth century, and the Habsburgs’ multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Austro-Hungarian Empire. They were outsiders in the greatest family of royal insiders in Europe, which put them on a collision course with Adolf Hitler. As he rose to power Hitler's hatred toward the Habsburgs and their diverse empire fixated on Franz Ferdinand's sons, who became outspoken critics and opponents of the Nazi party and its racist ideology. When Germany seized Austria in 1938, they were the first two Austrians arrested by the Gestapo, deported to Germany, and sent to Dachau. Within hours they went from palace to prison. The women in the family, including the Archduke's only daughter, Princess Sophie Hohenberg, declared their own war on Hitler. Their tenacity and personal courage in the face of betrayal, treachery, torture, and starvation sustained the family during the war and in the traumatic years that followed. Through a decade of research and interviews with the descendants of the Habsburgs, scholar James Longo explores the roots of Hitler's determination to destroy the family of the dead Archduke—and uncovers the family members' courageous fight against the Führer.

O Castelo de Papel narra a Biografia cruzada da princesa Isabel e seu marido,o conde d'Eu. Ele, um nobre europeu, neto do último rei da França. Ela, obediente filha e herdeira do Império do Brasil. Em comum, a formação rígida e a devoção religiosa. A união por interesses familiares não impediu que fossem apaixonados por toda a vida, representando o retrato acabado do romance do século XIX. Através da história dos dois, o livro revela a tensa atmosfera de um mundo em transição. O século que se seguiu à Revolução Francesa foi marcado por seguidos choques entre o novo espírito laico e republicano e as velhas estruturas aristocráticas do Antigo Regime. Na Europa, monarquias entravam em crise enquanto a industrialização criava um proletariado cada vez mais ativo. A nobreza defendia seus direitos em arranjos familiares e alianças dinásticas. Enquanto isso, no Brasil, a estabilidade do Império ventilava uma imagem de um regime imune aos novos ventos, atraindo nobres, como o conde d’Eu. Junto com seu tempo, os personagens também se modifi cam. Das rusgas com o sogro, à atuação controversa na Guerra do Paraguai, o jovem príncipe descobre aos poucos que, embora a monarquiaresista no novo mundo, ela parece cada vez mais identificada com o novo sistema burguês do que o Antigo Regime. A princesa, obediente e reclusa, acaba por assinar a Lei Áurea, que a tornaria inesquecível na História do Brasil. Baseado em uma vasta documentação, o livro reconstrói o mundo que dava sentido ao romance dos dois personagens, conduzindo o leitor a um dos períodos mais interessantes de nossa história. Um tempo onde reis perdiam suas coroas, barões eram aposentados de sua grandeza, mas que, como mostra o romance, príncipes e princesas ainda casavam e eram felizes para sempre.
