This book is a collection of essays on the colonial history of Mato Grosso, created soon after the doctorate as a kind of intellectual provocation for various questions and problems encountered during the research on the decline of mining and the slow formation of a new society. We begin with four essays more focused on what we understand as the historian's revenge, based on Walter Benjamin's Angel of History. Then follow several short essays on the colonial towns of Mato Grosso, mainly Cuiabá and Vila Bela. Finally, we address isolated issues such as smuggling, women in the colonial period, historiographical tradition, slavery, and mining. These essays aim more to provoke intellectual debate than to present some complete conclusion about something. They should be understood as a starting point and not as a point of arrival.

Pre-Colonial African notion of boundaries were non-restrictive and fluid.Imperialist contacts with the continent in the nineteenth century produced novel regimes of boundary which ranged from spheres of influence to demarcated territories based on the European model. The imposed boundaries balkanised Africa and separated kiths and kin who now live along and astride international boundaries. Attempts to either re-adjust or abrogate these alien boundaries as envisioned by the domiciled Pan African movement were jettisoned for uti possidetis. The adopted boundary regime has been provoking and promoting series of conflicts between African states because of its restrictive and bellicose nature. The Pan African boundary vision of an amalgamated Africa collapsed largely due to fear, suspicion, ultra-nationalism, poor timing, and absence of integrative infrastructures.

This book is the result of a research with interest in identifying the existing narratives about the city of Goiânia, through literature and periodicals produced in the city in its early years. In contact with these sources, it was possible to find two important typologies of writing, one utopian and the other realistic. Narrative typologies that in turn constructed multiple images of the city. At the end, we present to the reader which unfoldings, implications and consequences these different narratives were able to produce, especially regarding the construction of a historical consciousness.
