The Deepest Wounds - by Thomas D. Rogers

In this book, Thomas D. Rogers analyzes social and environmental changes in four centuries of the history of Pernambuco, one of the main centers of sugar production in Brazil. The work focuses mainly on the period that begins with the abolition of the slavery regime and continues until the 20th century. Critically revisiting the canonical bibliography on the subject, with emphasis on the work of Gilberto Freyre, Rogers takes a deep dive into the Pernambuco agricultural scene of the last century and how much it is a tributary of this history.
