The Second World War and the Rise of Mass Nationalism in Brazil
Fear & Memory in the Brazilian Army and Society, 1889-1954
Author: Shawn C. Smallman
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 9780807853597
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Smallman argues that through fear and censorship Brazil's military has sought to distort its record on racial politics, institutional corruption, and terror campaigns. Using newly available secret police reports, army records, and oral histories, he challenges conventional Brazilian history, which has typically reflected the military's own version of its role in national development.

Becoming Brazilians
Author: Marshall C. Eakin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316813142
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This book traces the rise and decline of Gilberto Freyre's vision of racial and cultural mixture (mestiçagem - or race mixing) as the defining feature of Brazilian culture in the twentieth century. Eakin traces how mestiçagem moved from a conversation among a small group of intellectuals to become the dominant feature of Brazilian national identity, demonstrating how diverse Brazilians embraced mestiçagem, via popular music, film and television, literature, soccer, and protest movements. The Freyrean vision of the unity of Brazilians built on mestiçagem begins a gradual decline in the 1980s with the emergence of an identity politics stressing racial differences and multiculturalism. The book combines intellectual history, sociological and anthropological field work, political science, and cultural studies for a wide-ranging analysis of how Brazilians - across social classes - became Brazilians.
