Historian Marshall Eakin describes a country defined by paradoxes--immense wealth surrounded by widespread poverty, a modern industrial infrastructure alongside an outmoded agricultural system. Eakin takes the reader from the hovels of Sao Paolo to the pleasure palaces of Rio de Janeiro and other places between to show the rich cultural mix that is Brazil.
