The history of Brazil [electronic resource] / Robert M. Levine. Westport, Conn : Greenwood Press, 1999. 1 online resource (xviii, 208 p.) : ill., map. Greenwood histories of the modern nations Includes bibliographical references and index. Early Brazil (1500-1822) -- Independence and empire (1822-1889) -- The republic (1889-1930) -- The Vargas era (1930-1954) -- Dictatorship and democracy (1954-1998) -- Political culture -- Social and economic realities -- Notable people in the history of Brazil. "Relatively bland historical introduction for general readers emphasizes economic development, social inequality, and apparent inability of reforms to address inequality. Begins in 1500, but more than half of volume is devoted to post-1930 Brazil and contemporary issues. Getúlio Vargas is central both as a reformist turning point in politics and as a representative enigma. Useful, but much less piquant and heartfelt than author's Brazilian legacies (item #bi 00006099#)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas. History. Geschichte.
