A new revised edition<br />

of the historian Gustavo<br />

Falcon’s study of the<br />

“colonels” of Bahia.<br />

The power derived from<br />

growing and selling cocoa<br />

reached its height during<br />

the Old Republic (1889-<br />

1930), and endured until<br />

the mid-twentieth century.<br />

The author focuses on the<br />

historical development of<br />

authoritarianism and its<br />

impact on the region of<br />

Ilheus, the state’s main<br />

cocoa-growing hub. First<br />

published in 1995.
