Text clear and unmarked. ____________How Brazilâs long history of racism and authoritarian politics has led to the countryâs present crises and epidemic of violence. Brazil has long nurtured a cherished national myth, one of a tolerant, peaceful, and racially harmonious society. A closer look at the nation's heritage, however, reveals a far more troubling story. In Brazilian Authoritarianism, esteemed anthropologist and historian Lilia Schwarcz presents a provocative and panoramic overview of Brazilian culture and history to demonstrate how the nation has always been staunchly authoritarian. It has papered over centuries of racially motivated cruelty and exploitationâsources of the structural oppression experienced today by its Black and Indigenous population. Linking the countryâs violent past to its dire present, Schwarcz shows why the social democratic left was defeated and how Jair Bolsonaro ascended to the presidency. Schwarcz travels through five hundred years of colonial history to consider Brazilâs allegiance to slavery, which made it the last country to abolish the system. She delves into eight elements that pervade Brazilâs problematic culture: racism, bossism, patrimonialism, corruption, inequality, violence, gender issues, and intolerance. But Schwarcz also argues that Brazilâs future is not absolutely hopeless. History is not destiny, and even as the nation experiences its worst crises everâsocial, political, moral, and environmentalâit has the potential to overcome them. A stark, revealing investigation into Brazilâs difficult roots, Brazilian Authoritarianism shines a light on how the country might imagine a more hopeful path forward. 540 5.75,"unit":"INCHES"},{"value":1.25,"unit":"INCHES"},{"value":8.5,"unit":"INCHES"}].…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A superb history of one of the most grand, beautiful and varied countries on Earth, from its origins to todaySince Europeans first reached Brazil in 1500 it has been an unfailing source of extraordinary fascination. More than any other part of the 'New World' it displayed both the greatest beauty and grandeur and witnessed scenes of the most terrible European ferocity.Brazil: A Biography, written by two of Brazil's leading historians and a bestseller in Brazil itself, is a remarkable attempt to convey the overwhelming diversity and challenges of this huge country from its origins to the 21st century - larger than the contiguous USA and still in some regions not fully mapped. The book's major themes are the near-continuous battles to create both political institutions and social frameworks that would allow stable growth, legal norms and protection for all its citizens. Brazil's failure to achieve these except in the very short term has been tragic, but even now it remains one of the world's great experiments - creative, harsh, unique and as compelling a story for its inhabitants as for outsiders. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
