Recenzje

'This book is essential reading for any social scientist working on Brazil; an up to date, data-based history emphasizing demography and economy from earliest times to the present that does not avoid discussion of the social and political implications of that nation's history and its emergence as a global power.' Stuart B. Schwartz, Yale University
