This edition features a Brazilian historiographical influence that prioritizes documents written by Brazilian historical figures over those by foreign observers. This edition also has added attention to earlier historical periods that are imperative to understanding modern Brazil. More focus is given to recent views on race, gender, and culture. A suggestion to librarians: do not deselect the first edition. The differences between the two volumes merit keeping both. Essential. All levels.\" -- M. L. Grover * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e“The editors’ language and writing style is accessible to most readers and each section and chapter is expertly explained and outlined. . . . It should become a must-read volume for undergraduate and graduate students of Brazil, as well as the general public who are also interested in Brazil.” -- Alan P. Marcus * Journal of Latin American Geography *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Brazil Reader\u003c\/i\u003e . . . weaves the histories of blackness, indigeneity, and mestiçagem into the national narrative, and this alone makes the book a welcome contribution.” -- Theodore W.
