Brazil by Lilia Moritz Schwarcz
A concise, wide-ranging narrative history that traces Brazil’s formation from colonial settlement through slavery, empire, republic, dictatorship and re-democratization, showing how race, labor, politics and culture shaped national identity and institutions; it foregrounds the centrality of slavery and racial mixing to social hierarchy and economic development, examines major political turning points and cultural inventions, and argues that enduring inequalities and competing myths about mestiçagem and inclusion continue to define contemporary Brazil.
