Between Brazil and Bahia: Celebrating Dois de Julho in Nineteenth-Century SalvadorGenerous funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Foundation, the Associação Brasileira de Estudos Canadenses, and the Faculty of Social Sciences (University of Calgary) made possible the research on which this article is based. Earlier versions were presented at the Conference of Latin American History (Seattle, 10 Jan. 1998) and the University of Calgary History Department Colloquium (26 March 1998). I thank the participants at these meetings, and also John Chasteen, Todd Diacon, and Roderick J. Barman, for their comments on early drafts. Two anonymous Journal of Latin America Studies readers provided insightful comments. Roderick Barman, Alexandra Brown, Dale T. Graden, and Richard Graham called my attention to additional sources or supplied me with research materials, for which I am most grateful.

Аннотация:
Commemorating the expulsion of Portuguese troops from Salvador, Bahia, on 2 July 1823, the Dois de Julho festival represented Bahian society collectively and marked differences of national origin, class, and race. It challenged the Brazilian stateʼs official patriotism by articulating a regional identity, and through its commemoration of the independence-era popular mobilisation, presented a story of Brazilʼs origins that contradicted the official patriotism which celebrated Emperor Pedro I as Brazilʼs founder. Dois de Julhoʼs popularity and durability, moreover, suggest a significant and socially-broad engagement with the imperial state, which cannot be considered a remote and alien entity to the urban population.
