Title: Movimento divisionista em Mato Grosso do Sul, 1889-1930
First published: 1995
Description: "Efforts during the Old Republic to separate the south of Mato Grosso to create another state had their roots, at least in part, in the resentment of local elites against the privileges granted the Companhia Matte Larangeira. With the arrival of the railroad and the spread of cattle ranching, the south was the dynamic part of the state's economy and the coroneis resented Cuiabá's control"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
