Product Information
From 1750 until Brazil won its independence in 1822, the Portuguese crown sought to extend imperial control over the colony's immense, sea-like interior and exploit its gold and diamond deposits using enslaved labor. Carrying orders from Lisbon into the Brazilian backlands, elite vassals, soldiers, and scientific experts charged with exploring multiple frontier zones and establishing royal authority conducted themselves in ways that proved difficult for the crown to regulate. The overland expeditions they mounted in turn encountered actors operating beyond the state's purview: Native peoples, runaway slaves, itinerant poor, and those deemed criminals, who eluded, defied, and reshaped imperial ambitions. This book measures Portugal's transatlantic projection of power against a particular obstacle: imperial information gathering, which produced a confusion of rumors, distortions, claims, conflicting reports, and disputed facts. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship in the fields of ethnohistory, slavery and diaspora studies, and legal and literary history, Hal Langfur considers how misinformation destabilized European sovereignty in the Americas, making a major contribution to histories of empire, frontiers and borderlands, knowledge production, and scientific exploration in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Reviews
Adrift on an Inland Sea is a beautifully narrated history of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Brazil that reveals its hinterlands as crucial sites for imperial and national projects. Tracing information gathering as mediated by state agents, settlers, and Indigenous and African-descended peoples, Hal Langfur offers an innovative account of Brazilian territorialization and state power., "Clearly written, broadly framed, evocative, and at times amusing, [ Adrift on an Inland Sea ] is likely to appeal broadly to undergraduate and graduate students and historians of borderlands, empire, ethnohistory, Brazil, and the Atlantic world."--Judy Bieber, Hispanic American Historical Review, "Hal Langfur's Adrift on an Inland Sea: Misinformation and the Limits of Empire in the Brazilian Backlands sheds valuable light on spaces and processes in the history of colonial Brazil that have been overlooked and understudied, namely those taking place in internal frontier zones--the sertões , or backlands, between and beyond the enclaves governed by Portuguese rule, unstable and unincorporated spaces that were socially and culturally discontiguous."--Adriana Johnson, H-Environment, "[A]s Langfur demonstrates so well, it was easy enough for crafty individuals to confound officials in Portugal, allowing some to accumulate vast personal wealth (especially in land holdings), while the crown was unable to intervene. He suggests that such deceptions occurred in proportion to the desire of the Portuguese to exert increased control over their colony as the 18th century waned. Seemingly, not even scientists could be counted on for truthful reporting. It is hard to say whether this captaincy's experience extends to all of colonial Brazil. Regardless, for Minas Gerais, the author's effort is solid and provocative. Highly recommended."--R. M. Delson, CHOICE, "Deeply researched and powerfully written, Adrift on an Inland Sea offers a bold, innovative approach to the histories of early modern imperial spheres and colonial borderlands. Hal Langfur contrasts the Portuguese crown's efforts to govern these interior frontiers with its dependence on local inhabitants, who parlayed their experience of the sertões as guides and intermediaries."--Cynthia Radding, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, " Adrift on an Inland Sea is a beautifully narrated history of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Brazil that reveals its hinterlands as crucial sites for imperial and national projects. Tracing information gathering as mediated by state agents, settlers, and Indigenous and African-descended peoples, Hal Langfur offers an innovative account of Brazilian territorialization and state power."--Kirsten Schultz, Seton Hall University, Deeply researched and powerfully written, Adrift on an Inland Sea offers a bold, innovative approach to the histories of early modern imperial spheres and colonial borderlands. Hal Langfur contrasts the Portuguese crown's efforts to govern these interior frontiers with its dependence on local inhabitants, who parlayed their experience of the sertões as guides and intermediaries.
