The Brazilians
by Joseph A. Page
- 1 Currently reading
"Introduction to Brazil by a law professor who has been an engaged visitor since the 1960s. Themes of race, political power, violence, environment, religious diversity, and popular culture are made accessible through biographical profiles. Balances exuberance and indignation better than most recent introductions, but at a length that may exhaust the general reader. See Levine's work (item #bi 00006099#) or Eakin's (item #bi 00006100#) for more succinct introductory studies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Work Description
The distinctive features of Brazilianness emerge from human factors, the singular interplay between Brazilians and their physical environment, and the magic that permeates both land and people. These are the aspects of Brazil that have long seduced and inspired foreign observers. - Introduction.
