Through a careful analysis of visual records about key events in the country’s history—the Canudos massacre, the Amazonian rubber boom and its aftermath—the author shows how photographers including Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roger Casement, and Mário de Andrade drew attention to forgotten communities, victims of Brazil’s stride toward progress. A must-read for those interested in the iconography of Brazilian modernity.” —Patricia Vieira, author of \u003ci\u003eStates of Grace: Utopia in Brazilian Culture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1 - Corpse: The Nation in a Decomposing Portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2 - Scars: Humanitarianism and the Colonial Point of View\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3 - Debris: The Indigenous Past in an Ethnographer’s Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4 - Shadows: The Amazonian Worker and the Modernist Traveler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue: Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138175107415,"sku":"9780810145412","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810145412.jpg?v=1751918306","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/traces-of-the-unseen-volume-43-9780810145412","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
