Setting out to answer this deceptively simple question, Todd A. Diacon delivers a fascinating account of a culture in crisis.\u003cbr\u003eCombining oral history with detailed archival research, \u003ci\u003eMillenarian Vision, Capitalist Reality\u003c\/i\u003e depicts a peasant community whose security in economic, social, and religious relations was suddenly disrupted by the intrusion of international capital. Diacon shows how a \"deadly triumvirate\" comprised to foreign capital, state power, and local bosses engineered a land tenure revolution that threatened smallholders' subsistence, sparking rebellion among the Contestado peasants.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike most analysis of millenarian movements, Diacon combines a material analysis with a careful exploration of the movement's millenarian ideology to demonstrate how a particular combination of external and internal forces produced a crisis of values in the Contestado society. Such a crisis, Diacon concludes, gave a special power to the millenarian vision that promised not only outward reform, but inner salvation as well. This work offers a significant contribution to the literature of millenarian movements, popular religion, peasant rebellions, and the transition to capitalism in Brazil.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Millenarian Vision, Capitalist Reality: Brazil's Contestado Rebellion, 1912-1916 | Todd A Diacon | Paperback | 9780822311676 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788823","offer_id":67857741349016,"sku":"1788823","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71nat7r22nL.jpg?v=1793495900","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/millenarian-vision-capitalist-reality-brazils-contestado-rebellion-1912-1916","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
