Produktbeschreibung

"A rich, welcome addition to social history in the broadest sense. . . . [This study] convincingly demonstrates the ironic fact that immigration policies seeking to 'whiten' Brazil instead led to the creation of an immensely multi-cultural society. A major contribution."--Robert M. Levine, author of "The Brazilian Photographs of Genevieve Naylor, 1940-1942"
