What role did gender play in structuring plantation society in Brazil? In what ways were gender norms subsequently challenged or reinforced in the mining society of Minas Gerais in the 18th century?
Draw on our readings from Antonil, Furtado and Schwartz to respond to the prompt. Focus on providing analysis of key examples rather than attempting to describe all aspects of these societies. Make sure your essay begins with a clear argument showing how you understand these questions.
Format: Times New Roman, font size 12, one inch margins, double-spaced. Aim for 4-5 pages—do not be afraid to be succinct!
Citation: It is important to provide a citation when you quote directly or paraphrase an idea from another source. Provide a brief footnote or parenthetical citation with the author last name and page number. If you cite an outside source (neither expected nor required), please provide the full footnote citation and/or bibliography entry at the end of the essay under the heading Additional Bibliography. You do not need to write out bibliographical entries for our assigned readings. (I say this every time, and someone always includes them!)
Be judicious when you cite: avoid block quotes and make sure any directly quoted material you do use is well integrated alongside your own analysis. Paraphrasing (restating in your own words) can be immensely useful, as long as you reference correctly.
