About this listen

Smugglers, Pirates, and Patriots delineates the differences between the British and Portuguese empires as they struggled with revolutionary tumult. It reveals how those differences led to turbulent transnational exchanges between the United States and Brazil as merchants, smugglers, rogue officials, slave traders, and pirates sought to trade outside legal confines. Tyson Reeder argues that although US traders had forged their commerce with Brazil convinced that they could secure republican trade partners there, they were instead forced to reconcile their vision of the Americas as a haven for republics with the reality of a monarchy residing in the hemisphere. He shows that as twilight fell on the Age of Revolution, Brazil and the United States became fellow slave powers rather than fellow republics.

The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

"An important and influential book"(Fabricio Prado, College of William and Mary)

"Tyson Reeder fills a major gap in the historiography of the Age of Revolutions." (H-DIPLO)
