For many Americans, Brazil is a land of contradictions: vast natural resources and entrenched corruption; extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty; beautiful beaches and violence-torn favelas. Brazil occupies a vivid place in the American imagination, and yet it remains largely unknown. In an extraordinary journey that spans five hundred years, from European colonization to the 2016 Summer Olympics, Lilia M. Schwarcz and Heloisa M. Starling's Brazil offers a rich, dramatic history of this complex country. The authors not only reconstruct the epic story of the nation but follow the shifting byways of food, art, and popular culture; the plights of minorities; and the ups and downs of economic cycles. Drawing on a range of original scholarship in history, anthropology, political science, and economics, Schwarcz and Starling reveal a long process of unfinished social, political, and economic progress and struggle, a story in which the troubled legacy of the mixing of races and postcolonial political dysfunction persist to this day.… (meer)

A lucid and profound delineation of Brazilian history and what makes Brazil Brazil in a very comprehensive fashion. I was astounded by the depth of this breathtaking book. An amazing and exceptional read. ( )

Com linguagem fluente, acesso a documentação inédita e profundo rigor na pesquisa, Lilia Moritz Schwarcz e Heloisa Murgel Starling traçam um retrato de corpo inteiro do país, e mostram que o Brasil bem merecia uma nova história.

Uma leitura essencial para entender o que fez do Brasil, Brasil. O livro não se presta a ser uma história exaustiva do país. As autoras destacam alguns períodos e eventos para explicarem mais a fundo, e associam o momento político e econômico ao cultural e social. ( )

«Este livro não pretende contar uma história do Brasil, mas fazer do Brasil uma história.»

Aliando texto acessível e agradável, vasta documentação original e rica iconografia, Lilia Schwarcz e Heloisa Starling propõem uma nova (e pouco convencional) história do Brasil. Nessa travessia de mais de quinhentos anos, debruçam-se não somente sobre a ‘grande história’ mas também sobre o quotidiano, a expressão artística e a cultura, as minorias, os ciclos económicos e os conflitos sociais. A história que surge destas páginas é a de um longo processo de embates e avanços sociais inconclusos, em que a construção falhada da cidadania, a herança contraditória da mestiçagem e a violência aparecem como traços persistentes.

«Há tempos precisávamos de uma história do Brasil abrangente, sensível e ancorada em pesquisa rigorosa. Um trabalho que reconhecesse os avanços extraordinários dos últimos cinco séculos mas que também tratasse com franqueza dos muitos obstáculos para a constituição de uma cidadania social, política e racial plena. Vem assim muito a calhar este admirável tour de force de duas das maiores historiadoras brasileiras da atualidade.»
Kenneth Maxwell

«Este livro é uma biografia não autorizada de um personagem complexo chamado Brasil. Ele combina com muita qualidade várias facetas desse personagem que se forma e se transforma ao longo de mais de cinco séculos, e continua se transformando até onde a vista pode alcançar.»
Boris Fausto, autor de "História do Brasil" ( )
  LuisFragaSilva | Nov 9, 2020 |
This was outstanding throughout, a fascinating companion to a complex and difficult country. It’s the beating and bleeding heart of Brazil’s history wrapped in the alluring outerwear of a biography. My compliments not just to the authors but to their editors and publisher for the structure, pace and balance in the narrative. I am sure there will be an updated edition that deals with the complexities of the 2018 election and the early days of the Bolsonaro regime; another chapter could be devoted to the Lava Jato corruption scandal and its aftershocks. But in the meantime, this is the only place to start whether you're a casual reader or a serious student of Brazilian politics, society and culture.

A monumental achievement - thoroughly recommended. ( )
