About this product
Product Information
A thorough study of Brazilian politics from 1930 to 1964, this book begins with Getulio Vargas' fifteen-year rule--the latter part of which was a virtual dictatorship--and traces the following years of economic difficulty and political turbulence, culminating in the explosive coup d'état that overthrew the constitutional government of President João Goulart and profoundly changed the nature of Brazil's political institutions. Now Skidmore has revisited his original work to reflect on learning the history of Brazil and the writing and reception of this work, while James N. Green provides a new foreword, discussing its formidable place in the historical literature of Brazil.

Reviews
"Politics in Brazil became an instant classic. Its detached, elegant narrative and wide array of sources on the history of twentieth-century Brazil compelled Brazilian historians, who had until then focused on the colonial era, to confront the complexities of the politically decisive republican period."--Carlos Fico, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro "Politics in Brazil has been indispensable reading for students of twentieth-century Brazil since it first appeared in 1967, and established Tom Skidmore as one of the leading authorities on contemporary Brazilian history. It has helped generations of historians and social scientists appreciate the exciting possibilities and the tragic limitations of this earlier 'experiment in democracy.'"-Barbara Weinstein, author of For Social Peace in Brazil "The most important book on the politics of modern Brazil that exists."--The Economist "A first-rate synthesis of Brazilian thought on the nature of the political and economic dilemmas that Brazil has faced over a generation."--Hispanic American Historical Review "A model of how a book on politics should be written. The story...is told with such admirable lucidity and restraint that it must give outside observers a much more complete understanding of Brazil and its politics."--Financial Times "The rise of nationalism and the role of the Jacobin Left are treated with a sympathy and understanding rare in foreign writers about Brazil."--Daily Telegraph (London) "Supported by lavish documentation from Brazilian sources, based on a solid knowledge of our intricate political flora and fauna."--Viso (Brazil) "Skidmore has written the essential book on contemporary Brazil....Skidmore delivers a remarkably comprehensive, superbly documented, balanced and judicious assessment of Brazil's two decades under military domination."--The Historian "This volume will quickly establish itself as the authoritative work in English on Brazil under military rule and on the country's gradual transition toward democracy. Assiduously researched and elegantly written, the book combines lucid analysis of economic and social trends with sound political history and balanced judgements."--Foreign Affairs "Has been acclaimed as, without a doubt, the most comprehensive study of politics in Brazil. This book, however, can also be useful in better understanding the politics of Latin America as a whole."--Journal of International Law and Politics "A major contribution to our understanding of the period. As always, Skidmore argues his case cognetly and clearly....The great value of this study is that it provides historical depth and extremely useful documentary guidance to an understanding of why, even under the 'New Republic', democratic government remains fragile and vulnerable, and why fundamentally important changes, including agrarian and fiscal reform, wer still, in 1989, neglected or resisted."--History "The most comprehensive account now in English. It will not be superseded soon."--Contemporary Sociology, "This volume will quickly establish itself as the authoritative work inEnglish on Brazil under military rule and on the country's gradual transitiontoward democracy. Assiduously researched and elegantly written, the bookcombines lucid analysis of economic and social trends with sound politicalhistory and balanced judgements."--Foreign Affairs, "It will, without doubt, be as useful to students trying to understand thebackground to Brazil's current attempts to establish democracy as Skidmore'searly work was to those trying to understand democracy's demise in '64. Thisbook reaffirms Skidmore's position as the preeminent North American commentatoron contemporary Brazilian political history."--Peter Evans, University of NewMexico, "There is no doubt that it will become a standard reference for thoseinterested in Brazilian political history after 1964."--Riordan Roett, School ofAdvanced International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University, "The most comprehensive account now in English. It will not be supersededsoon."--Contemporary Sociology, "Operates splendidly for several reasons. It is easily read, includes a number of political cartoons as well as pictures, and is a reasonalby balanced and objective piece."--Teaching History, "Quite marvelous--far and away the best modern history of Brazil inEnglish. It is a much needed account of the contemporary experience of thismost important of the newly industrialized countries."--William D.

With an engaging narrative style and careful scholarship Skidmore traces events from the overthrow of thecivilian Goulart government to the more recent abertura, political opening to democracy. He describes the economic challenges, the evolution of a national policy of repression and the torture of dissidents...and soberly assesses the prospects for democracy. Highly recommended for general andacademic libraries."--Library Journal, "A major contribution to our understanding of the period. As always, Skidmore argues his case cognetly and clearly....The great value of this study is that it provides historical depth and extremely useful documentary guidance to an understanding of why, even under the 'New Republic',democratic government remains fragile and vulnerable, and why fundamentally important changes, including agrarian and fiscal reform, were still, in 1989, neglected or resisted."--History

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
