Empires and Exploration is ably written and highly readable—a real tour de force and demonstration of the author’s erudition and love of Brazil. This book is an important contribution to scholarship as well as a thoughtful memoir and reflection about recent changes in Brazil. -- Hendrik Kraay, University of Calgary
