Brazil: The Once and Future Country Paperback - 1999
by Marshall C. Eakin
Historian Marshall Eakin describes a country defined by paradoxes--immense wealth surrounded by widespread poverty, a modern industrial infrastructure alongside an outmoded agricultural system. Eakin takes the reader from the hovels of Sao Paolo to the pleasure palaces of Rio de Janeiro and other places between to show the rich cultural mix that is Brazil.
First line
ALL NATIONS CARRY WITH THEM the scars of their past, yet Brazil bears the "burdens of history" more visibly than most.
From the rear cover
This book is the most comprehensive introduction to Brazil available in English. In his quest to understand the largest country in Latin America, Eakin reveals Brazil to be a land of the marvelous and the mystical, the sublime and the tragic.
