Abstract

In this article I shall examine the presence of translations in two rebel movements which preceded the independence of Brazil. The Minas Conspiracy and the Bahia Conspiracy, two of the most important protest movements in the Brazilian colonial period, contemporary with the American and French Revolutions, in addition to reflecting the dissatisfaction with local conditions and pointing to the collapse of the old order, dialogued with ideas that circulated internationally. An examination of the libraries of the period shows the importance of the revolutionary ideas.
