Sommario/riassunto: This volume situates the field of Brazilian studies firmly in the twenty-first century as the nation confronts growing social discontent and global intrigue in light of the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament. The contributors ground their research in twentieth-century social challenges and advances but focus primarily on the questions that the nation and interested researchers must confront today regarding social inequality, sustained social movements, and exportable stereotypes and myths.
