Brazil- Culture and Politics in a New Industrial Powerhouse (Nations of the Modern World - Latin America)

Brazil

Culture and Politics in a New Industrial Powerhouse (Nations of the Modern World - Latin America):

• Review:: 'Concise Conciseness is at the same time the best and the worst characteristic of Schneider's book. The first 88 pages are a very fast paced summary of Brazil geography and history up to 1964. The first chapter on Brazil regions is important but very badly written. Not only most of the Portuguese names are misspelled but the kind of information begs for tables and thematic maps. The only three tables presented in the entire book are hideous.

  Conciseness can easily slip to oversimplification and there are some connections the book tries to make to what I cannot agree. One example is the statement that the party structure during the Empire period (mid 19th century) still remains. Another example of exaggeration is when the author calls the 1994 presidential election the most complicated and important in the whole New World History.

  On the positive side Schneider is very competent in pinpoint the main problems that haunt Brazil. The gross congressional under representation of the most populated states, the paternalistic approach to the role of the State, the Brazilian dream of a messianic leader, the chaotic party structure and the idea that the law is a burden and people should just try to be reasonable.

  Outstanding is the chapter on Brazilian culture, especially the section on literature and interpersonal relations where terms such as pistolao, panelinha, parentela, jeitinho as well as the "do you know whom are you speaking to" approach are explained. Noteworthy also is the section on racial relations.

  The good part of the book is 130 pages long (pages 89 till 218). The first 88 pages don't really add to the book and may scare the less patient reader. My suggestion to the author is to get rid of it and create a really concise 130 pages book. The other idea is to expand the first 88 pages loosing the conciseness. It's a tough call but the way the book is and considering that it costs [price] I would rather buy Skidmore's Brazil: Five Centuries of Change plus Page's The Brazilians. The two will set you back [price] but you'll enjoy over 800 pages of Brazil and the Brazilians.

To Inherit the Earth- The Landless Movement and the Struggle for a New Brazil

To Inherit the Earth

The Landless Movement and the Struggle for a New Brazil:

• Review:: 'Too partial. . . The authors of this book are so pro-MST that the last page in the book includes information about where you can send money if you wish to contribute to the movement. It may be true that some land reform is necessary in Brasil, but not in the way the many of the people involved in the MST go about it. Yes, some of the landholders who own large farms and ranches resort to violence to protect their property, but the squatters also aren't afraid of killing people to get what they want. There has got to be a better book out there that tells both sides of the story. This one is too biased.
• Review:: 'Got me thinking I have not done much research on the MST, but this book does a great job of highlighting their struggle. The authors are clearly pro-MST and pro-Land Reform, but don't shy away from pointing out the difficulties the MST and their supporters face. I think this book is a must read for those who want to understand the issues surrounding the rural poor who are simply asking for life's basics (a place to call home, food, education). They seem to have been demonized by Brazil's conservatives and large land owners as violent land grabbers. This book gives an "on the ground" account that shows this to be false. I was also impressed by their treatment of the debate between the large agri-business model that the U.S. clearly supports versus the small landholder that actually cares about the land they work. More books like this are needed.
