Publisher Synopsis
"Designed as a general introduction to the exceptionally complex nation of Brazil, Levine's book more than meets this challenge....Levine's political anaylsis of the rocky road to democracy is insightful, clear, and up-to-the-minute; his social analysis is equally strong....will be very useful for introductory purposes and as a general reference."-Choice "For those readers previously unfamiliar with Brazil, this is an excellent introduction. For those already well versed in the literature, this is a good resource and teaching tool. Furthermore, for any reader, the work raises pressing social questions about global market economy and wealth distribution in the 21st century."-Luso-Brazilian Review "This work provides a well-written account of Brazilian political, social, and cultural history for the general reader. It would be a good addition to any library developing a collection that includes the Latin American countries, or the world's larger countries in demographic, geographic, and economic terms."-ARBA ?This work provides a well-written account of Brazilian political, social, and cultural history for the general reader.
