Lecturers to Discuss Brazilian Slave-Planter Relationships

Two leading figures in nineteenth-century Brazilian history scholarship, Sandra Lauderdale-Graham and Richard Graham, will speak on October 9 about "Ambiguous Power: Slave and Planter in Nineteenth-Century Brazil" as part of the history department's annual Lax Lecture Series. Both are on the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin, but have long-standing ties to the Five College area. Lauderdale-Graham taught Latin American history at MHC in the early 1980s, and Graham was on a team that recently reviewed MHC's history department.
