Modernidade e modernismo no Brasil

"Through sharply focused insights and critical commentary, this collection of essays examines the often contradictory means by which European modernity found its entry into Brazil and adapted to the country's particular requirements. Modernist autonomy is critiqued in favor of a more scholarly, diversified approach using new methods and documentation. Discusses 20th-century Brazilian intellectual and artistic life within this context"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
