Blake shows how the Northeast was a created ‘other,’ providing a foil for a national idea of ‘Brazilianness.’ Yet as Blake shows, creations often lead to realities. Thus the invention of the nordestino gave urban professionals and government officials a justification for social reform programs aimed at improving what would become an essential aspect of Brazilian identity.” —Jeffrey Lesser, Emory University “An exceptionally clear and comprehensive survey of the contemporary political situation. A state of the field snapshot for graduate students in the social sciences. Kingstone and Power have managed to enlighten us once again.” —Bulletin of Spanish Studies Democratic Brazil Actors, Institutions, and Processes The Practice of Politics in Postcolonial Brazil Porto Alegre, 1845-1895 ROGER A.

Covers the gamut for a comprehensive, thorough and nuanced picture of Brazilian politics that is a commendable starting point for the academic generalist or the advanced undergraduate.” —Latin American Politics and Society UNIVERSIT Y OF PIT TSBURGH PRESS • Latin American Studies 21
