O Mundo que o Português Criou

Freyre, Gilberto, O Mundo que o Português Criou, 1941?. [Este livro foi composto e impresso nas oficinas da Empresa Graphica da “Revista dos Tribunaes”, á rua Conde de Sarzedas, 38, São Paulo, para Livraria José Olympio Editora, Rio, em dezembro de 1940. ]

Minha nota:

Este livro é velho e decrépito, sem uma tampa frontal. Tem rabiscos em Português, mas eu achei inserido nele um artigo de jornal escrito por Cyro T. de Pádua que analisa o livro (página 4 de O Estado de S. Paulo, 23/1/41).

This book is old and decrepit, lacking a front cover. It has scribblings in Portuguese, but I found inserted in it a newspaper article which reviews the book by Cyro T. de Padua (page 4 of O Estado de S. Paulo, 23/1/41)

Página 4 de O Estado de S. Paulo (23/1/41):

Gilberto Freyre é incansavel. Considerado o maior sociologo brasileiro, tendo produzido tres livros dos mais sérios da nossa reduzida literatura de pesquisas sociologicas “Casa Grande e Senzala”, “Nordeste”, e “Sobrados e Mocambos”, prosegue, entretanto, infatigavelmente, nos seus trabalhos. Agora acaba de nos dar “O Mundo que o Português Criou” editado pela Livraria José Olympio, do Rio, como o volumen 28 da “Coleção Documentos Brasileiros", que inicialmente elle mesmo dirigiu e presentemente orientada por Octavio Tarquinio de Souza.
(…)
O prefacio de Antonio Sergio, que ocupa cerca de 20 paginas me mostrou novas perspectivas sobre certos aspectos da historia economica de Portugal e nos auxilia muito na comprehensão do que escreve Gilberto Freyre. E’ um prefacio cheio de idéias novas e algumas verdadeiramente ineditas para mim. Vou transcrever apenas um pequeno trecho, por signal que annotação no pé das paginas 28 e 29, em que o ensaista portugués se refere ao fado, musica e canto que sempre detestei en com razão como veremos: “As origens do fado deverão buscar-se ao que, ao que nos dizem os doutos, entre os escravos do Brasil. Do fado-musica o antecesor directo é o lundum – afro-brasileiro – importado em Portugal pelos fins do seculo XVIII; o fado-dança surgiu no Brasil nos principios do XIX, e veiu para Lisboa quando a corte regressou do Rio, em 1821. ..."...

Centenary History of the East Indians in British Guiana: 1838-1938

Ruhomon, Peter, Centenary History of the East Indians in British Guiana: 1838-1938, Georgetown Demerara: Daily Chronicle, 1947.

The Ruhomons were born at Plantation Albion. Peter, born on August 2, 1873, is considered the first Indian intellectual in British Guiana. (…) Joseph’s brother, Peter Ruhomon, born in 1880, was a journalist. He wrote under the pseudonym “the Pandit” and he was a leading light in the Susamachar [Wesleyan] East Indian Young Men’s Society in the 1920s and 1930s. Peter Ruhomon was an intellectual in his own right and his book the Centenary History of the East Indian in British Guiana (1947), reprinted by the East Indians 150th Anniversary Committee, offers a wealth of information about the progress of Indians in colonial Guiana.

[Peter] Ruhomon grew up in, and became an integral part of, that period in our history that saw the flowering of East Indian intellectualism. He witnessed the formation of a number of organisations to oversee the welfare of East Indians, such as the British Guiana East Indian Association in1916, initiated by his elder brother Joseph; The East Indian Young Men,s Society (EIYMS) in 1919; and The Balak Sahaita Mandalee (child welfare society) in 1936. Just as important were the East Indian Cricket Club (1914); The Corentyne Literary and Debating Society (1937); and The British Guiana Dramatic Society. INDIAN OPINION, the official organ of The British Guiana East Indians Association, became the main tool of Indian intellectualism. And Ruhomon made good use of this outlet for his opinions.

Foreword to Sugar and Society in the Caribbean (separata)

Mintz, Sidney W., Foreword reprinted from Guerra y Sanchez, R., Sugar and Society in the Caribbean, Caribbean Series 7, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1964, pp. xi-xiiv.

First four sentences:

In this book about men and sugar, Dr. Ramiro Guerra recounts a history. His story is laid in the Caribbean islands – islands which, for most of us, did not even exist a decade ago. Dr. Guerra purports to demonstrate that in these islands men and sugar were long ago drawn into remarkably patterned relationships, and that all of these relationships have developed along some parallel course or trajectory. This is history – social, political, and economic history – and it aspires to be generalizing; its author means to locate sociological regularities within bodies of historical fact.
