"Clearly written and well organized, this book makes a major contribution to the field of Brazilian studies. An outstanding work."--Leo Spitzer, "Hotel Bolivia: The Culture of Memory in a Refuge from Nazism"
"A rich, welcome addition to social history in the broadest sense. . . . (This study) convincingly demonstrates the ironic fact that immigration policies seeking to 'whiten' Brazil instead led to the creation of an immensely multi-cultural society. A major contribution."--Robert M. Levine, author of "The Brazilian Photographs of Genevieve Naylor, 1940-1942""
