Excerpt from In a Changing Brazil This mutual lack of knowledge and, it must be admitted, mutual apathy toward such knowledge, resulted from factors I try to make plain in this book. If the Brazilians, certain of the superiority of their achievements, found it unnecessary to investigate and comprehend ours and the motivations for them, no less were we indifferent to theirs, and for the same reason.

Brazil is a country of extreme inequalities, one of the most important of which is the acute concentration of rural land ownership. In recent decades, however, poor landless workers have mounted a major challenge to this state of affairs. A broad grassroots social movement led by the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) has mobilized hundreds of thousands of families to pressure authorities for land reform through mass protest. This book explores the evolution of the landless movement from its birth during the twilight years of Brazil&’s military dictatorship through the first government of Luiz In&ácio Lula da Silva. It uses this case to test a number of major theoretical perspectives on social movements and engages in a critical dialogue with both contemporary political opportunity theory and Mancur Olson&’s classic economic theory of collective action. Ondetti seeks to explain the major moments of change in the landless movement's growth trajectory: its initial emergence in the late 1970s and early 80s, its rapid takeoff in the mid-1990s, its acute but ultimately temporary crisis in the early 2000s, and its resurgence during Lula's first term in office. He finds strong support for the influential, but much-criticized political opportunity perspective. At the same time, however, he underscores some of the problems with how political opportunity has been conceptualized in the past. The book also seeks to shed light on the anomalous fact that the landless movement continued to expand in the decade following the restoration of Brazilian democracy in 1985 despite the general trend toward social-movement decline. His argument, which highlights the unusual structure of incentives involved in the struggle for land in Brazil, casts doubt on a key assumption underlying Olson's theory.

Excerpt from Brazil and the Monroe Doctrine The proclamation of the Republic found the writer in the very flower of his twenty years of age. And he here confesses that he did not escape the malign influence of this fascina ting reading. The author of the Its'usdo Americana had shown himself in this work so deeply inspired in patriotism, had had so many apprehensions aroused as to the destinies of Brazil, which he considered to be about to fall into dismemberment, and he had so convinced himself as to the complete loss of that national unity which had been the great foundation of all the political greatness of the Continent, that not a few of his readers forgot that he himself was a monarchist, while they themselves were being led to believe that, fully as much as the German peril, in view of the concentration of colonists in the south, a new American peril now reared its head over the fertile regions of the Amazon.

Informed by the most recent scholarship available, Brazil: Five Centuries of Change, Second Edition, explores the country's many blessings--ethnic diversity, racial democracy, a vibrant cultural life, and a wealth of natural resources.

This book offers the first conceptually rigorous analysis of the political and institutional underpinnings of Brazil's recent rise. Using Brazil as a case study in multiparty presidentialism, the authors argue that Brazil's success stems from the combination of a constitutionally strong president and a robust system of checks and balances.

Excerpt from Beyond the Argentine: Or, Letters From Brazil He said that G. Had telegraphed asking him to meet me, but he had understood it to mean the next day, owing, as I afterwards found, to a clerk's having changed the word during the transmission of the telegram. G. Had missed the train the day before, through no fault of his own. SO Mr. Morice took me and my boxes on shore, passed them through the custom-house, and deposited me in the hotel - a very nice one, roses and bougainvillia in the patio, and the owner and a waiter speaking French. I was very hungry, so went down and ordered my dinner. I had just finished it when, to my surprise, in walked G., just the same as ever, only a good deal burnt. He had just arrived by train. We had some coffee early next morning, and left by the train; we travelled till 4 o'clock, only getting out for breakfast at Sta. Anna on the way. The railway-carriages were full of smoking Spaniards, whom we dropped at inter vals all along the line. Sometimes the train stopped on purpose near some estancia, and a horse or two were brought up for the traveller. All day we saw nothing but the prairie - wide grass plains, stretching away like the sea, on which were hundreds and thousands of cattle and horses feeding, and a few deer and some rheas (the South American ostrich); now and then a dead animal, and vultures screaming in the neighbourhood; lots of white bones about.

Excerpt from From Palm to Glacier, With an Interlude: Brazil, Bermuda, and Alaska The North knows. She knows it is farewell; and that if to us parting is such sweet sorrow, there is almost more of sweetness than of sorrow in it, as we forget that we are leaving the North in remember ing that we are going South. There is a breath of violets in the air at the very thought, though it is the cold breeze of January that is stirring in the ship's sails. We are leaving the chill, the dull-gray mists, the frosty mornings, the long cold nights, the weary effort of Northern brain and body and soul to keep itself alive, and we are drifting to the land of never-fading roses, of never-failing sunlight, where golden noons will alternate with nothing harsher than silver moonlight, where the blue of tropic seas will change only to deeper blue where thought will fall asleep, swinging in the hammock of emotion; where life will be Simplified to plucking one's break fast from a banana tree wandering through orange groves with a book of poems one will never open; indolently watching other people work, - the other.
