Manoel de Oliveira Lima's The Evolution of Brazil was first
published in 1914 as the result of a series of lectures given by
the Brazilian historian at Stanford University in the Fall of 1912.
A world-renowned scholar of Latin American history, Oliveira Lima
taught and lectured at the most prestigious European universities,
including the Sorbonne. He was a pioneer in the field in the United
States, having inaugurated the Chair in Latin American History at
Harvard University and later becoming a Professor of International
Law at The Catholic University of America. He also lectured across
the country in more than a dozen universities. It was at Catholic
University where he decided to establish the Oliveira Lima Library
with the donation of his private collection of more than 40.000
books, manuscripts, documents and works of art. The Oliveira Lima
Library is the embodiment of his commitment to promote the study of
his home country. At the time of its publication, The Evolution of
Brazil represented an innovative effort to use a comparative method
tailored for an American audience to teach about the history of
Brazil. In a time when Latin American Studies was only in its
infancy, Oliveira Lima was highly influential and helped to foster
interest for the emerging field in American universities. Bringing
this important work back in to print helps shed light on an
important figure for Latin American Studies and provides an
important source to understand the substantial changes the field
has experienced in the past century.
