Summary:

This special issue of Luso-Brazilian Review includes articles on the Lusophone South Atlantic by historians of Africa and Brazil originally presented in May of 2006 at the Michigan State University and University of Michigan's Atlantic History Workshop "ReCapricorning the Atlantic: Luso-Brazilian and Luso-African Perspectives on the Atlantic World." Workshop participants set out to "ReCapricorn the Atlantic" by assessing how new research on the Lusophone South Atlantic modifies, challenges, or confirms major trends and paradigms in the expanding scholarship on Atlantic History.
