Discover the extraordinary history of Brazil-from its Indigenous origins to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
Brazil: History, Culture and Transformation - From Pre-Colonial Times to 2026 offers a broad and engaging journey through more than five centuries of Brazilian history.
Beginning with the Indigenous civilizations that inhabited the territory before European arrival, Corrado De Benedictis explores Portuguese colonization, the Atlantic slave trade, the African legacy, gold and territorial expansion, independence, the Brazilian Empire and the long reign of Dom Pedro II.
The narrative continues through abolition, immigration, the rise of Getúlio Vargas, industrialization, the construction of Brasília, military dictatorship and the return of democracy.
The book also examines the Brazil of today: political polarization, inequality, the favelas, environmental pressures, the Amazon, technological transformation and Brazil's growing role in a changing global order.
Written in a clear, continuous and accessible narrative style, this book is intended for readers who want to understand not only what happened in Brazil, but how history created the Brazil of today.
A story of conquest and resistance.
Slavery and freedom.
Empire and republic.
Inequality and extraordinary cultural creativity.
The story of a continental nation still deciding what it will become.
