Focusing on the colonial history of Mato Grosso, this collection of essays explores the decline of mining and the emergence of a new society. It begins with four essays inspired by Walter Benjamin's concept of the historian's revenge, followed by discussions on colonial towns like Cuiabá and Vila Bela. The work also addresses topics such as smuggling, women's roles, historiography, slavery, and mining. Rather than offering definitive conclusions, these essays are designed to stimulate intellectual debate and serve as a foundation for further exploration.
