520 $aThomas Skidmore, a preeminent authority on Brazil, vividly traces the 500 years of Brazil's development. Its epic story begins in the wake of Vasco da Gama's historic circumnavigation of the globe, when another Portuguese vessel, commanded by Pedro Alvares Cabral, ran aground on the coast of Brazil in April 1500.
520 8 $aFrom there Skidmore probes Portugal's remarkable command of the vast country in the face of the advances of the Spanish, French, and British colonial interests; Brazil's compromised independence in 1822; its evolution as the center of world coffee cultivation; and the creation of the republic in the late nineteenth century.
520 8 $aHere also are examinations of its unique forms of modernist art and literature, the dictatorship of Getulio Vargas and the military coup, and the visionary reforms of current president Fernando Henrique Cardosa.
