Brazil under Construction: Fiction and Public Works explores how
Brazil invested in ambitious construction projects throughout the
twentieth century, such as the creation of a new capital city,
extensive networks of highways, and hydroelectric power plants.
Beyond their practical purposes, these public works became
significant symbols of Brazil's modernity. While actual public
works literally connected the nation, it was the government's
representations of these projects that sought to inspire in
Brazil's citizenry a notion of connectedness and progress. However,
Brazilian fiction exposes the tensions between infrastructure built
for the common good and the underbelly of public works:
displacement, environmental devastation, uneven access,
exploitation, and blight. This book examines how writers
successfully use fiction - with its mystery, contradiction,
wordplay, and fantasy - to engage the unprecedented role of public
works in shaping perceptions of Brazil's modernization.
