The book begins with the discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese and Spaniards in 1500 and describes the changing European attitudes toward the Indians, ranging from "noble savage" admiration to hostility, fear, and scorn. The conquest of the long coast is described as is the discovery and penetration of the Amazon, the exploration of the interior in search of Indian slaves, cattle ranching, Amazon forest produce, and gold; the expulsion of French and later Dutch colonies. There are raids and battles with different tribes, enslavement and forced labor, and the devastating introduction of European diseases. European religion did not soften or palliate the essential outcome of the European presence in Brazil, though the Jesuit record included much to honor the humanity of many missionary priests. For the Indians, it was a history of decline from a self~sufficient series of tribal societies, which the first settlers had seen as Edenic, to the brutal, corrupted, often sickly, and demoralized populations driven from their traditional homelands and deprived of the sustenance and identity their tribal traditions and ways of hunting, work, and crafts had once given them. Red Gold fully explores the elements of a major historical tragedy: the defeat and decimation of Brazil's native population. It explains the discovery, conquest, and exploration of modern Brazil, and how the Portuguese won so much. It is rich with excitement and adventure; notably the exploration of the Amazon and the Mato Grosso, and the exploits of "bandeirante" raiders from Sao Paulo. Being the first book to cover the complete range of its enormous subject, Red Gold not only fills a gap in the existing literature but bids fair to become the definitive modern account. …
