Brazil : Companhia das Letras, 2015. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 520 $a For many Americans, Brazil is a land of contradictions: vast natural resources and entrenched corruption; extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty; beautiful beaches and violence-torn favelas. Brazil occupies a vivid place in the American imagination, and yet it remains largely unknown. In an extraordinary journey that spans five hundred years, from European colonization to the 2016 Summer Olympics, Lilia M. Schwarcz and Heloisa M. Starling's Brazil offers a rich, dramatic history of this complex country. The authors not only reconstruct the epic story of the nation but follow the shifting byways of food, art, and popular culture; the plights of minorities; and the ups and downs of economic cycles. Drawing on a range of original scholarship in history, anthropology, political science, and economics, Schwarcz and Starling reveal a long process of unfinished social, political, and economic progress and struggle, a story in which the troubled legacy of the mixing of races and postcolonial political dysfunction persist to this day. 505 0 $a Introduction : "Brazil is just nearby" -- First came the name, and then the land called Brazil -- The sugar civilization : bitter for the many, sweet for a few -- Tit for tat : slavery and the naturalization of violence -- Gold! -- Revolt, conspiracy and sedition in the tropical paradise -- Ship ahoy! a court at sea -- Dom JoaÌo and his court in the tropics -- The father leaves, the son remains -- Independence habemus : instability in the First empire -- Regencies, or the sound of silence -- The second reign : at last, a nation in the tropics -- The end of the monarchy in Brazil -- The first republic : the people take to the streets -- Samba, malandragem, authoritarianism : the birth of modern Brazil -- Yes, we have democracy! -- The 1950s and 1960s : bossa- nova, democracy and underdevelopment -- On a knife edge : dictatorship, opposition and resistance -- On the path to democracy : the transition to civilian power and the ambiguities and legacy of the military dictatorship -- Conclusion : history is not arithmetic. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Civilization. 651 0 $a Brazil $x History. 700 1 $a Starling, Heloisa Maria Murgel, $e author. 941 $a 5 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010759.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011800.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707011830.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006121733.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180926012150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62F7C1A2C15411E8A134651897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
