"Modern Brazil," a collection of original essays, views the largest
country in South America through the multiple lenses of political
science, economics, telecommunications, and religion. The editors,
Michael L. Conniff and Frank D. McCann, have provided a frame for
this analysis of a complex society by centering on the elites,
those who run national affairs, and the masses, those poor and
working-class people who have little direct influence on them.
Discussing the political elites from regional, national, and
military standpoints are, respectively, Joseph L. Love and Bert J.
Barickman, Conniff, and McCann. The economic elites, notably
businessmen and industrialists, are analyzed by Steven Topik and
Eli Diniz. The masses are considered in chapters by Eul Soo Pang,
Thomas Holloway, and Michael Hall and Marco Aurelio Garcia. Sam
Adamo views the historical situation of blacks and mulattos in
Brazil. In the final section, examining connections between the
elites and masses, Robert M. Levine writes about how the former
perceive the povo, Joseph Straubhaas looks at the mass media; and
Fred Gillette Strum ex-amines religion in Brazil. The editors have
included a general introduction, an epilogue focusing on Brazil in
the late 1980s, and a glossary.
