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.
