From Library Journal
When this volume debuted in 1971, LJ 's reviewer correctly predicted it was "destined to become a standard item for all reading lists on Brazil" ( LJ 1/15/71). This third edition includes new information on race relations, the destruction of the Amazon, women's roles, industrialization, and several other subjects. A benchmark title for public and academic libraries.

Reader Reviews
This book is, unfortunately, the best English book on the history of Brazil. I really wanted to learn more about the history of Brazil, so I read the whole book, and I learned a lot. However, the book is not broken down by subjects, or events, or individuals, and is just written all together as one continuous stream of thought, which makes it somewhat hard to read and follow. In addition, there is very little insight into the individuals (and their motives) who shaped Brazil. I think only Dom Pedro II got more than a paragraph. This book was clearly written by someone from the "old school." Isn't there a fresh young history professor out there looking to make a name for him or herself who could write a better book? If so, get to work, and I'll buy your book. Brazilian history is very interesting, and remains fascinating even when presented in this dull format. Dr. Burns, at least get some better pictures and maps in your next version!
