Archivist Liz finished reading Brasilien--Rechtsdiktatur zwischen Armut und Revolution by Márcio Moreira Alves (Rororo aktuell)
It was interesting to learn at least a little bit about Brazilian history during the military dictatorship. Unfortunately the writing style made this book exhausting to read. I'm not sure how much was the author and how much was the translation, but it took all joy out of reading the otherwise interesting subject matter. The book was published in early 1972, so it only covers the first few years. I would be interested in a book that covers the entire period of the military dictatorship as well as how Brazilian society has reflected on that period (or not) since the end of the dictatorship. Any recommendations for more comprehensive books on this period or on Brazilian history in general/.
