- Summary:
- In their introductory comments on the largest country in South America, Crocitti (history, San Diego Mesa College) and Vallance (PhD, history of Portugal, U. of California, Santa Barbara) note that this reference compiles the most currently available information on all aspects of modern Brazil including its history, geography, demographics, politics, economy, and culture. Entries on the country's leading personalities, culture, and sociopolitical issues include suggested reading, and in some cases, a b&w photo. Spanning A-L (the state of "Acre" to Brazilian "literature"), volume 1 features a chronology of Brazilian history since 1415. Volume 2, covering the late controversial politician "Magalh a es" to the "Zero Hunger Program," includes the master index. Both volumes feature a list of entries and topic finder.
