Brazilian People The Formation and Meaning of Brazil

This is the first English-language translation of the culmination of the life work of Darcy Ribeiro, one of Brazil's leading 20th-century intellectuals, known internationally both for his work in Indian affairs & for his political activism. Elegantly translated by the acclaimed Gregory Rabassa, this work does justice to Ribeiro's original Portuguese text, with all its idiosyncrasies, intrinsic poetry, epic hyperbole, & departures from contemporary U.S. norms of political correctness.Ribeiro, Darcy is the author of 'Brazilian People The Formation and Meaning of Brazil', published 2000 under ISBN 9780813017778 and ISBN 0813017777.
