What is The Brazilian People: The Formation and Meaning of Brazil (University of Florida Center for Latin American Studies) about?
<p>This is the first English-language translation of the controversial bestseller"O Povo Brasileiro" by Darcy Ribeiro, one of Brazil's leading 20th-century intellectuals. First published in 1995, 2 years before Ribeiro's death, the book offers a sweeping overview of the ethnic, racial, and social forces that shape Brazilian culture and society. Ribeiro notes the problems posed by Brazil's racial and class prejudice while praising the country's beauty and diversity. <p>"[This] new book by Darcy Ribeiro . . . is the corollary of an effort that began long ago, untiring and coherent, destined to recognize the anonymous heroism of mulattos and caboclos . . . children of blacks and Indians, taken prematurely in the name of civilization . . . a rare existential vibration."—translated from Jornal do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro <p>"Must reading for Brazilianists as well as Latin Americanists in general."—Maxine L. Margolis, University of Florida, author of Little Brazil: An Ethnography of Brazilian Immigrants in New York City</p>
