Imagining Brazil provides a comprehensive and multifaceted picture of Brazil in the age of globalization. Privileging diversity in relation to the authors as well as the manner in which Brazil is perceived, Jessé Souza and Valter Sinder have assembled historians, political scientists, sociologists, literary critics, and scholars of culture in an attempt to understand a complex society in all its richness and diversity. Rising from one of the world’s poorest societies in the 1930s to the eighth largest world economy in the 1980s, Brazil is used as an example of globalization’s impact on peripheral societies, exploring in new contexts the serious social problems that have always characterized this society. Imagining Brazil explores the connections between society and politics and culture and literature, creating an encompassing volume of interest to scholars of Latin American studies as well as those interested in how globalization impacts the varied aspects of a country.
Jessé Souza is professor at the department of sociology, UENF, Rio de Janeiro.
Valter Sinder is coordinator of the course of social sciences of the Pontifical Catholic University, Rio de Janeiro and professor of anthropology at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro.
