Brazil, the largest of the Latin American nations, is fast becoming a potent international economic player as well as a regional power. This English translation of an acclaimed Brazilian anthology provides critical overviews of Brazilian life, history, and culture and insight into Brazil's development over the past century. The distinguished essayists, most of whom are Brazilian, provide expert perspectives on the social, economic, and cultural challenges that face Brazil as it seeks future directions in the age of globalization.

All of the contributors connect past, present, and future Brazil. Their analyses converge on the observation that although Brazil has undergone radical changes during the past one hundred years, trenchant legacies of social and economic inequality remain to be addressed in the new century. A foreword by Jerry Davila highlights the volume's contributions for a new, English-reading audience.

The contributors are:
Cristovam Buarque
Aspasia Camargo
Gilberto Dupas
Celso Furtado
Afranio Garcia
Celso Lafer, Jose Seixas Lourenco
Renato Ortiz
Moacir Palmeira
Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira
Paulo Sergio Pinheiro
Ignacy Sachs
Paulo Singer
Herve Thery
Jorge Wilheim
