Richardson effectively shows how decreasing government revenues from exports led to a desperate implementation of new taxes, some fourteen in Pernambuco alone from 1863 to 1869, to support municipal and provincial budgets. ... Richardson provides a detailed history of the conflict between the Brazilian state and the Vatican over precedence in religious and church matters and the role of Jesuit and Capuchin priests in the revolt. ... Richardson’s approach is useful in laying out the complexities of the revolt and suggests the necessity of further research that reveals more of participants’ individual motivations. Richardson successfully documents crucial aspects of rural northeastern society, the economic decline of the region, the myriad causes of the revolt, and the ways in which the revolt was used to political ends, and is thus a valuable contribution toward our understanding of the northeastern Brazil during the Second Empire.
