Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This is a study of Brazil's ethnic, political, economic, industrial and social history. It examines the blessings of the country's ethnic diversity, wealth of natural resources, and rapid economic and industrial development, as well as the problems, such as its history of political instability and military rule, and the inflation and international debt which have plagued the nation as it has emerged as a major Third World power. The book provides a detailed look not only at Brazil's past and its national identity, but its visions for its future.
