A landmark memoir of political awakening, intellectual formation, and moral conviction from one of Brazil's greatest abolitionist statesmen.

In The Making of a Statesman: My Formation, Joaquim Nabuco reflects on the people, books, cities, institutions, and historical events that shaped his mind and public life. Moving from his youth in Brazil to his encounters with Europe, England, France, the United States, diplomacy, literature, religion, and parliamentary politics, Nabuco offers far more than a personal memoir: he presents a rare portrait of a nineteenth-century conscience formed at the crossroads of empire, liberalism, monarchy, and abolition.

At the heart of the book lies Nabuco's lifelong struggle against slavery and his belief that political life must be guided by moral responsibility. His memories of Massangana, his reflections on the English constitutional spirit, his observations of American democracy, and his account of the abolitionist movement reveal the inner development of a man who became one of the principal voices of Brazil's campaign against slavery.

Elegant, introspective, and historically rich, this edition brings an essential Brazilian classic to English-language readers, offering a powerful window into the final decades of the Brazilian Empire and the formation of one of Latin America's most important public intellectuals.

Ideal for readers interested in Brazilian history, abolitionism, political memoirs, nineteenth-century liberal thought, constitutional monarchy, diplomacy, and the intellectual history of the Americas.
