Synopsis
"Lucid introduction to Brazil by leading US historian covers history, regional differences, social relations and popular culture, political history and contemporary political institutions through 1992, and economic development. Theme of frustrated potential reflects Brazilian mood of economic and political crisis ca. 1985-93. More helpful explanation of economic and political institutions than Levine's Brazilian legacies (see item #bi 00006099#), but less detail on the popular culture that may intrigue visitors"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
