    Extractions: by appointment The History of Brazil explores the major themes of Brazilian history since independence. Brazil currently accounts for about half of Latin America, in population, geographic area and economic size. The country has experienced extremes in its history; and today it straddles the First and Third Worlds. This course develops insight on how Brazil reached its current condition. It covers social, political, economic and cultural developments. The major themes that we will focus on include: the nature and effect of slavery on Brazil, the tensions between continuity/change and between individual/society in Brazilian history. Please read the syllabus carefully; it includes: All students should subscribe to the listserv for the class. Once subscribed, you should check your e-mail often enough to remain current on information distributed over the listserv. A separate page gives you instructions to subscribe and to send messages. The class web site and listserv provide means for me to communicate to the class any administrative information you may need as we go through the semester. Extra credit opportunities will appear on my web site (under the tab "Current Announcements") and the listserv occasionally through the term. Most importantly, I hope the listserv will provide an opportunity to pursue discussions that we do not have time for during class sessions.

He was reelected in 1998, but his second term saw increased popular dissatisfaction with economic austerities and inequities, struggles in his four-party coalition, and legislative intransigence that hindered his effectiveness. Nonetheless his years in office saw the solidification of Brazilian democracy, a reduction of patronage in the government bureaucracy, improvements in education and rural health care, and the resettlement of nearly 600,000 landless peasant families.

    http://www.islamfortoday.com/brazil.htm
    
    Extractions: Brazil is the largest country in Latin America. Although there are no official statistics, the Muslim population in Brazil is estimated to be approximately 1 million people, with a total population of more than 170 million. This number includes converts to Islam, Arab immigrants and their descendants. Brazilian converts make up for no more than 1% of this number, about 10,000 people. Therefore, within a population of over 170 million, the small number that make up Brazilian converts to Islam have very little power. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. However, in Latin America, and specifically in Brazil, this is not the case. Why? One could argue that this is due to the strong influence of the Catholic Church. Brazil is considered to be the largest Catholic country in the world. However, a closer look proves that this is not true. Despite its strong presence, Catholicism has been losing followers in Brazil to other religions. The argument has also been made that it is due to the Latin culture, which encourages Brazilians to always be playing, dancing and engaging in activities that are not lawful in Islam. As such, it is assumed that Brazilians simply aren't fit to be Muslims. This is generally the excuse used by those responsible for Dawah work in Brazil for their failure. It is, of course, not true. Brazilians are, by nature, very religious and have in the past been an easy prey to all sorts of innovative religious movements. So, what is really happening?

    Extractions: History Repeats Itself...So They Say... Peruvians and Brazilians of Japanese descent (Nikkei Peruvians and Nikkei Brazilians) living in Oizumi are part of a larger group of Nikkei Peruvians and Nikkei Brazilians living throughout Japan. This section will outline the following: (1) Japanese migration to Peru and Brazil beginning in 1899 and 1908 and continuing through the early portion of this century. (2) The return migration of Peruvians and Brazilians of Japanese descent to Japan in the 1990s. Japanese emigration began in 1868 "in moments of turmoil as the new Meiji government replaced the Tokugawa shogunate" (Gardiner 1975: 23). Having first flocked to the Kingdom of Hawaii and the United States, the Japanese were becoming familiar with eastward emigration by 1899. Thus, when the Japanese government was then "denied the opportunity to send further emigrants to Hawaii and the U.S.," it was eager to look to Peru [and Brazil] as a potential destinations for Japanese (and Okinawan) workers (Takenaka 1997: 15). The first Japanese settlers arrived on Peruvian shores in 1899 with temporary intentions of making money and returning to Japan. However, the majority stayed in Peru, battled disease and difficulty, but by "the end of 1909, of the total of 6,295 immigrants to Peru, 5, 158 still lived there" (Gardiner 1975: 29). Japanese migration to Peru continued at a steady increase until "1923, when Japanese migration to Peru by contract was abolished" (Gardiner 1975: 33).

    http://www.newberry.org/collections/greenlee.html
    
    Extractions: William B. Greenlee (1872-1953) was a Newberry Library Trustee whose generosity greatly enhanced the Library's collections. Greenlee was an interested amateur student who studied Portuguese and Brazilian history in the Ayer Collection, meanwhile collecting books on his own. In 1937 he transferred his Portuguese library to the Newberry, where he worked among his books, selecting new titles and editing a volume of voyages to Brazil for the Hakluyt Society. The collection, numbering over 10,000 volumes, is particularly strong in these areas: While purposely not focussing on first editions of old and rare books, the Greenlee Collection has been built into one of the world's finest working libraries of Luso-Brasilian research materials. In addition to print material, the Greenlee collection contains 226 Portuguese manuscripts, 1660-1815. The acquisition of over 15,000 16th through 19th century Portuguese leaflets, pamphlets and booklets in recent years, has added further research depth to this great collection. Greenlee collection acquisitions to 1978 are described in A Catalogue of the William B. Greenlee Collection of Portuguese History and Literature and the Portuguese Materials in the Newberry Library

    Extractions: THE FASHIONING OF A REVOLUTIONARY TRADITION The invention of a tradition, in this case the invention of a tradition in which the French Revolution was cast as deeply imbedded in Brazilian history, occurs because of the power of language and symbols to form ideas, which, in turn, can be used as a resource in the mobilization of political power. Various images of the past are repeated in such a way that they shape a popular understanding of the present that can be grasped without serious reflection. As Patrick Hutton argued, "ultimately the problem of history is a problem of commemoration, that is, of identifying and inventorying those events, ideas, or personalities chosen by the power brokers of an earlier [and the present] age for remembrance." The fabrication of the legacy of the French Revolution in Brazilian History depended upon a specific reading of the French Revolution and its significance. The thrust of this reading was ironically commensurate with that of many French historians who wanted to forget the Revolution . In short, it depended upon a history of the revolution that largely focused upon the way in which the events that transpired in 1789 ended the Old Regime. Very few of the commemorative histories of the French Revolution published in popular Brazilian literature in 1989 included much about the
