Race, religion, language, culture, and national character are full
of contradictions. Brazil, the largest country in South America,
embodies so much paradox that it defies neat description. This book
will help students and general readers dispel stereotypes of Brazil
and begin to understand what country's "bigness" means in terms of
its land, people, history, society, and cultural expressions. This
is the only authoritative yet accessible volume on Brazil that
surveys a wide range of important topics, from geography, to social
customs, art, architecture, and more. Highlights include
discussions of the fluid definitions of race, rituals of candomble,
the importance of extended family networks, beach culture, and
soccer madness. A chronology and glossary supplement the text.
