Born in Brazil, Joaquim was the son of a wealthy landowner named Jose Thomas Nabuco (1849-1910), who was a major political figure in the Brazilian Empire, becoming a lifetime senator and counselor of state. Jose established the Liberal Party in 1868 and supported reforms that would lead to the eventual abolition of slavery. (Richard Graham, "Joaquim Nabuco, Conservative Historian" in Luso-Brazilian Review, 1980. )
Like his father, Joaquim vehemently opposed slavery, which he fought by political activity and in his writings.

He is quoted as saying, "Free labor and slave labor cannot coexist, and neither can slavery and immigration". (Citation: Sales Augusto dos Santos, translated by Laurence Hallewell, "Historical Roots of the 'Whitening' of Brazil" in the journal Latin American Perspectives, 2002. ) Like many of his elite counterparts, Nabuco believed that slavery would discourage European immigration into Brazil, thus retarding the process of "whitening".
After the overthrow of the Brazilian monarchy he retired from public life for a period of time.
He later became the first ambassador from Brazil to the United States from 1905-1910, which marked a significant shift in his country's role in the world arena.
