Description: "Finds that during first 80 years of Brazil's colonial period, New Christians became integrated at many different social levels. They coexisted peacefully with Old Christians, even intermarrying, until the denunciations and confessions provoked by the 1591 visit of the Portuguese inquisitor to northeast Brazil shattered that community"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
