A independência do solo que habitamos: poder, autonomia e cultura política na construção do império brasileiro - Sergipe (1750-1831)

A Província de Sergipe ganhou autonomia em relação à Província da Bahia em 1820, por decisão de D. João VI, que então já havia transferido a Corte portuguesa para o Brasil. Dois anos depois o Brasil se tornava uma nação soberana, separando-se de Portugal. Esses dois acontecimentos, que guardam proximidade temporal e política, instigaram a historiadora Edna Maria Matos Antônio a estudar a presença da corte portuguesa no Brasil e os significados das transformações institucionais aplicadas pelo governo joanino às regiões distantes do Rio de Janeiro, então sede política da nação.

Tomando como referência a Revolução Pernambucana de 1817, que ao contestar a política joanina e exigir reformas recebeu adesão de parte das elites locais e desencadeou conflitos na relação com o poder monárquico, o livro analisa o processo de independência da capitania de Sergipe. A autonomia teria sido concedida em reconhecimento da Coroa à participação dos representantes do poder sergipano no combate à revolta de Pernambuco. A investigação desses fatos permitiu à autora expor a natureza desses conflitos e seus desdobramentos dentro da crise do colonialismo em terras brasileiras. O momento exigia que os grupos sociais e políticos da Colônia tomassem decisões sobre formatos políticos institucionais vistos como soluções para melhorar e modificar a realidade. De acordo com a autora, Diferentes concepções e perspectivas sobre Estado e sociedade acabaram por definir os rumos da configuração governativa e estrutura política da nação...
