Book on British Community in Bahia
British Merchants in Nineteenth-Century Brazil: business, culture and identity in Bahia, 1808-50

By Louise H. Guenther
"Entrepreneurial British merchant communities, such as the small, but influential community in Bahia, Brazil, laid the early foundations for today's globalized business environment.
