Panel: Strategies of insertion of the minor nobility of the land:

Portuguese America – 16th to 19th centuries

Coordination: Carla Mary S. Oliveira (Universidade Federal da Paraíba)

This panel will discuss the strategies of insertion of the minor nobility of the land in

Portuguese American from the 16th to the 19th centuries, touching on individual and group trajectories

in order to identify common elements that might help construct a theory about how such relations

outwitted the boundaries of the social structures established in the colonial world.
