"I first read this book when I was preparing to move to the northeast of Brazil back in A.D. 2000.
After seven years of experiencing life in Brazil, I am finding it profitable to re-read. In a very readable manner, the book outlines the economic, social, and political changes over the last five centuries that have contributed to making Brazil what it is today.
