The Brazilianists' Brazil

Latin American Research Review, No. 35/1, 2000, contains a review article entitled "The Brazilianists' Brazil: Interdisciplinary Portraits of Brazilian Society and Culture," by Piers Armstrong. It contains about a page and a half on "Brazilian Mosaic." I suggest you may want to include that excerpt as a review of my book.G. Harvey Summ
