520 _aIn 1874 and 1875 peasants in the Northeastern region of Brazil rose up in rebellion, destroying the weights and measures of the new metric system implemented by the government. Authorities dubbed this the Quebra-Quilos or the "Break the scales" uprising. This analysis of the uprising explores its underlying causes: increased taxes, rising cost of food, the new metric system, the military draft and the imprisonment of two leading Brazilian bishops. The book covers the causes and results of an economy gone awry, governmental attempts at modernization, and nineteenth-century conflicts over church-state relations.
