Visões da Liberdade (1990), on the last decades of slavery in the city; and
Cidade Febril (1996), on tenements and epidemics in the second half of the
nineteenth century. A close reader and enthusiast of Machado de Assis,
Chalhoub is also the author of Machado de Assis, Historiador (2003), a
book about the literature and political ideas inside the writer’s poetics.
Chalhoub taught at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) for thirty years,
where he formed a generation of scholars who have deeply influenced the
field of social history of Brazil in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, with emphasis on the history of slavery, race, and public health.
Event organized by Prof. Josiah Blackmore, Ana Laura Malmaceda, Eduarda
Araujo, João Marcos Copertino, Omar Salomão
