Reviews
With clear and comprehensible explanations of the zigzag trajectory of Brazil's recent politics, this edition brings the story right up to the present, presenting information on mid-2021 pandemic conditions, and exposes the historical foundations of contemporary crises ... The book is an altogether fitting practical tribute to the work of the late Professor Skidmore. * A. B. Cochran, CHOICE *
Outstanding update and revision. The new material on post-2000 typical of Skidmore's deft style * following a basic economic and political narrative, while at the same time revealing important information about society and culture. No other book comes even close to Green and Skidmore's coverage of the 20th century. -James H. Sweet, University of Wisconsin *
Brazil is scholarly without being stuffy, and covers the broad sweep of Brazilian history. - Mary Ann Mahoney, Central Connecticut State University
