Mautner Wasserman looks at how, during the first decades following political independence, writers in the United States and Brazil assimilated and subverted European images of an "exotic" New World to create new literatures that asserted cultural independence and defined national identity. Exotic Nations demonstrates that the language of exoticism thus became part of the New World's interpretation of its own history and natural environment. 606 $aIndians in literature 606 $aExoticism in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$xBrazilian influences 606 $aLiterature and society$zBrazil$xHistory 606 $aBrazilian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aComparative literature$xBrazilian and American 606 $aNational characteristics, Brazilian, in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aComparative literature$xAmerican and Brazilian 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians in literature. 615 0$aExoticism in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xBrazilian influences. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 0$aBrazilian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 0$aComparative literature$xBrazilian and American. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Brazilian, in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aComparative literature$xAmerican and Brazilian. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93327 700 $aWasserman$b Renata R.
