From the first encounters between the Portuguese and indigenous
peoples in 1500 to the current political turmoil, the history of
Brazil is much more complex and dynamic than the usual
representations of it as the home of Carnival, soccer, the Amazon,
and samba would suggest. This extensively revised and expanded
second edition of the best-selling Brazil Reader dives deep into
the past and present of a country marked by its geographical
vastness and cultural, ethnic, and environmental diversity.
Containing over one hundred selections-many of which appear in
English for the first time and which range from sermons by Jesuit
missionaries and poetry to political speeches and biographical
portraits of famous public figures, intellectuals, and artists-this
collection presents the lived experience of Brazilians from all
social and economic classes, racial backgrounds, genders, and
political perspectives over the past half millennium. Whether
outlining the legacy of slavery, the roles of women in Brazilian
public life, or the importance of political and social movements,
The Brazil Reader provides an unparalleled look at Brazil's
history, culture, and politics.
