Revista Brasileira de História is a Brazilian scholarly periodical dedicated to historiography, cultural studies, and historical research linking scholars across Latin America and Europe. The journal engages with debates connected to Historiography, Social history, Cultural history, Economic history, and transnational exchanges involving figures such as Florestan Fernandes, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, Gilberto Freyre, Caio Prado Júnior, and institutions like Fundação Biblioteca Nacional, Universidade de São Paulo, and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
Founded in the early 1980s, the journal emerged amid debates following the Military dictatorship in Brazil (1964–1985), reflecting intellectual currents from scholars like Anísio Teixeira, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Octávio Ianni, Raymundo Faoro, and Darcy Ribeiro. Its establishment responded to comparative inquiries stimulated by conferences involving International Committee of Historical Sciences, Latinoamérica, and exchanges with researchers affiliated to Universidade de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, University of Oxford, Sorbonne University, and Harvard University. Over decades the publication has navigated methodological shifts influenced by the work of Michel Foucault, E. P. Thompson, Fernand Braudel, Marc Bloch, and Pierre Nora.
The journal prioritizes manuscripts that intersect political biographies of figures such as Getúlio Vargas, Dom Pedro II, José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, Joaquim Nabuco, and Luís Carlos Prestes with archival studies from collections like Arquivo Nacional (Brazil), Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo, Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil, and foreign repositories including The National Archives (United Kingdom), Library of Congress, and Archivo General de Indias. Topics commonly address urban transformations in Rio de Janeiro (city), São Paulo, Salvador, Bahia, regional studies of Nordeste (Brazilian region), Amazonas (Brazilian state), and themes explored by historians such as Sérgio Miceli, Emília Viotti da Costa, José Murilo de Carvalho, Hélio Jaguaribe, and Benedito Nunes.
Published on a periodic basis, the journal has historically appeared as a quarterly issue aligning with editorial cycles similar to those of Hispanic American Historical Review, Journal of Latin American Studies, American Historical Review, and Past & Present. Special thematic issues have focused on events like the Abolition of slavery in Brazil, the Proclamation of the Republic (1889), the Constitution of 1988 (Brazil), and anniversaries of institutions such as Banco do Brasil, Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro, and Museu Nacional (Brazil). The periodicity and issue numbering have been managed alongside publishing partners in São Paulo (city), Rio de Janeiro (city), and collaborations with CNPq, CAPES, and university presses.
Editorial leadership has included prominent editors linked to Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, and visiting scholars from University of Cambridge, Columbia University, Universidad de Chile, and Universidad de Salamanca. The peer-review process conforms to international norms used by journals like The Journal of Modern History and European Review of History, employing double-blind review panels composed of experts on subjects ranging from Slavery in Brazil studies to analyses of diplomatic episodes such as the Tratado de Tordesillas and the Washington Consensus. Editorial policies emphasize ethical standards referenced by organizations such as Committee on Publication Ethics.
The journal has published influential articles interrogating the roles of slavery in Brazil, analyses of the Coffee cycle, reconstructions of episodes involving Revolta da Armada, Canudos War, Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 (Brazil), and archival revelations about figures like Afrânio Peixoto, Getúlio Vargas, and Juscelino Kubitschek. Special dossiers have showcased transatlantic perspectives engaging with scholars including Edwin Williamson, John French, Susanna Scarparo, Boris Fausto, Maria Odila Leite Pinto de Almeida, and Cristovam Buarque. Comparative pieces have juxtaposed Brazilian developments with events like the Mexican Revolution, Argentine Dirty War, Portuguese Carnation Revolution, and historiographical debates sparked by works of Eric Hobsbawm and Tony Judt.
Indexed in regional and international databases alongside periodicals such as Latin American Research Review and Revista de Indias, the journal is tracked by bibliometric services comparable to Scopus, Web of Science, and national evaluation systems like Qualis (Brazil). Citation patterns reflect engagement from scholars at Universidade de Coimbra, Universidade de Lisboa, King's College London, Yale University, Universidad de Salamanca, and research centers including Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil and Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros.
Back issues and current editions are available through university libraries like Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil, digital repositories associated with SciELO, institutional archives at Universidade de São Paulo, and interlibrary loan networks connecting Library of Congress and British Library. Access modalities have included print subscriptions, electronic access for institutions, and open-access initiatives coordinated with funding agencies such as CAPES and CNPq.
