Brazil : a biography / Lilia M. Schwarcz and Heloisa M. Starling. by Schwarcz, Lilia Moritz, author. New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2018. Subjects Brazil.   Brazil -- Civilization.   Brazil -- History. ISBN:  9780374280499 : 0374280495 Description:  xxvi, 761 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm Edition:  First American edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 981 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 981 Schwarcz Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 981 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 981 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 981 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
