Review

Contributors in communication, journalism, media studies, and similar fields from across the Americas explore the evolving media environment of Brazil from perspectives of television, cinema, and media; the Brazilian media industry; news and journalism; social movements and protest; and theory: Brazilian perspectives. Among their topics are the cangaço in Brazilian cinema, regional media groups in Brazil: forms of organizations in geographic scales, media epiphanies: selfies and silences in São Paulo street protests, countercultural happenings: the performance of revolt in Brazil's Tropicalia movement, and the hyperconnected contemporary society. --Annotation ©2017 Ringgold Inc.
