Whereas in the earlier books Freyre described the rural patriarchy of Brazil during its flourishing years as a colony, the slow breakdown of that society, & the rise of an urban culture, in "Order and Progress" he chronicles his country's transition from monarchy to Republic--a transition characterized by the introduction of a new form of government but not a new social order. From the first decisive steps toward the abolition of slavery in the early 1870s to the end of the First World War, every thread of Brazil's cultural fabric is examined: from industrialization, education, literature, art & architecture, economics & politics, to religion, sorcery, folk mores, & the sights & sounds of the city streets. Freyre describes the evolving paradox of racial ease & social rigidity. He charts the effects of European immigration, the economic hegemony of Sao Paulo, & the burst of industrial development after 1885. Yet he makes it clear that in spite of growth & relative prosperity, great accomplishments in internal improvements, & increasing influence from the United States, the Republic failed to alter traditional social relations, failed especially to improve the lot of freed slaves & industrial & agricultural workers, & never, in fact, succeeded in shedding the vestiges of its monarchical past. The two concepts, "Order and Progress" (the motto emblazoned on the Brazilian flag since 1889) run throughout this absorbing and colorful portrait of a nation in transition, exemplifying as they do the combination of strong government and patriarchal family structure that Freyre sees as the major factor in Brazil's emergence as a modern democratic society. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this EXCELLENT copy for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
