Research summary
André is a historian of Latin America specialising in nineteenth-century Brazil and the history of political thought. He is currently preparing his thesis, Republicanism and the State between Brazil and the River Plate: Rio Grande do Sul, 1808-1845, for publication with Oxford Historical Monographs (Oxford University Press). This monograph analyses the state-building processes and transnational revolutionary networks that underpinned the rise and fall of the Rio Grandense Republic (1836-1845), a failed separatist state in southern Brazil. André has previously published on topics including the relationship between River Plate caudillos, constitutionalism, and democracy, and on Brazil’s Praieira Revolution; he is revising pieces on the origins of Brazilian feminism, Brazilian parliamentarianism, and Italian liberal exiles in the River Plate.
