"Based on a broad array of sources, including extensive archival research, this book presents a provocatively new interpretation of indigenous-European relations in Portuguese America, as they unfolded over the course of the sixteenth century... The topic is fascinating and the sources extremely rich and suggestive." --John Monteiro, Anthropology Department, UNICAMP, Brazil, and Visiting Professor of History, Harvard University

Based on a broad array of sources, including extensive archival research, this book presents a provocatively new interpretation of indigenous-European relations in Portuguese America, as they unfolded over the course of the sixteenth century. . . . The topic is fascinating and the sources extremely rich and suggestive. (John Monteiro, Anthropology Department, UNICAMP, Brazil, and Visiting Professor of History, Harvard University )

This book has a catchy title and a compelling premise, which, unfortunately, the book doesn't live up to. The organization of the book feels arbitrary and forced. The repetitive anecdotes make for a boring read from cover to cover. The chapter titled "Biology" is its weakest point -- a random litany of information that doesn't arrive at any particular or useful thesis. Unfortunately, this tendency to string together various historical anecdotes pervades the text. The final chapter is decent, but it's a long, irritating slog until then.

Brazilian colonialism is unlike its sisters in other places. Unlike the Americas the natives were not exterminated or removed. Unlike Africa, race did not divide people in sexual relations. In short Brazil was a hybrid. It was a hybrid because of the all important 'go betweens' that this book examines, the priests, slaves and natives who lived together and worked together and produced off spring together. An interesting book.
