User’s Reviews
Editorial Reviews: From Library Journal Levine’s self-described “interpretive essay” looks at the social, cultural, economic, and political history of Brazil to offer insights on its present conditions and future prospects as it struggles to build democracy and promote economic development. Some of the “Brazilian legacies” he investigates include colonial rule, slavery, Catholicism, and military dictatorship. Levine’s account is enriched by his own large repertoire of personal experiences in Brazil and his extensive use of Portuguese sources. (He is director of Latin American Studies at the University of Miami, Coral Gables.) Levine’s juxtaposition of historical analysis and current events provides a deeper understanding of the complexity of the Brazilian reality: the implications of race relations, profound social and economic inequalities, and an authoritarian political culture that breeds corruption.
