""Hotel Tropico" is a superb book. It takes on broad themes such as race and imperialism, modifies much of the current knowledge about Brazil's dictatorship, and suggests a reevaluation of that form of government in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. "Hotel Tropico" will be read not only by scholars of Brazil and Latin America but also by those studying Africa, empire, and postcolonialism."--Jeffrey Lesser, author of "A Discontented Diaspora: Japanese Brazilians and the Meanings of Ethnic Militancy, 1960-1980"
