This translation presents the thought of Alfredo Bosi, one of contemporary Brazil's leading intellectuals, to an English-speaking audience. Portugal extracted wealth from its Brazilian colony. Slaves--first indigenous peoples, later Africans--mined its ore and cut its sugarcane. From the customs of the colonists and the aspirations of the enslaved rose Brazil. Bosi scrutinizes signal points in the creation of Brazilian culture--the plays and poetry, the sermons of missionaries and Jesuit priests, the Indian novels of Jose de Alencar and the Voices of Africa of poet Castro Alves. His portrait of the country's response to the pressures of colonial conformity offers a groundbreaking appraisal of Brazilian culture as it emerged from the tensions between imposed colonial control and the African and Amerindian cults--including the Catholic-influenced ones--that resisted it. 606 $aNational characteristics, Brazilian, in literature 606 $aBrazilian literature$xHistory and criticism 607 $aBrazil$xColonial influence 615 0$aNational characteristics, Brazilian, in literature. 615 0$aBrazilian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a981 700 $aBosi$b Alfredo$0174081 702 $aNewcomb$b Robert Patrick 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823588303321 996 $aBrazil and the dialectic of colonization$94041475 997 $aUNINA
