Reviews
Over one hundred illustrations, the artful deployment of which the design team at Manchester University Press deserves credit, adorn the undertaking from beginning to end, lending the narrative (most appropriately) a rich, visual texture.
Though her sweep is vast, there is commendable balance between the big picture and attention to detail, with six informative chapters "organized around a sequence of connected case studies"

'Martins leads her readers through a fine web of documentary imagery and her book identifies new constellations of visual documents, expanding a Latin American historiography...Both the series of images and the strategies of interpretation in Photography and Documentary Film in the Making of Modern Brazil ought to be of real interest to geographers (both cultural and historical), art historians and anthropologists, as well, of course, as scholars in Latin American studies.'
